Tucson paper launches new business web site

Arizona Daily Star reader advocate Debbie Kornmiller writes that the paper’s business section will be launching a new web site this coming week.

Kornmiller wrote, “Business launches AzStarBiz.com Wednesday and promises something for everyone online â€” from business owner to consumer to average worker.

“The Web site, developed by business staffer Gabriela Rico, aggregates stories by broad topics: economic development, real estate, technology, consumer news and workplace issues. It also includes stock quotes, a mortgage calculator, salary reports and a resource center for small businesses.”

The site will be updated at least five times a day. Kornmiller also noted that the printed stock listings in the paper have added back some stocks that readers wanted.
