Vancouver Sun revamps business section

Harold Munro, editor in chief of the Vancouver Sun, writes about changes to its business section.

Munro writes, “You’ll notice the absence of a separate BusinessBC section today. Our Monday focus shifts to the popular Asia-Pacific page, now incorporated into the first section of your paper.

“Business coverage will be emphasized with deeper coverage in larger sections Tuesday through Saturday. The expanded BusinessBC section will include several new spotlight pages and you’ll see a weekly theme for each day, among them Mining, Energy and Small Business. The accompanying graphic highlights many of these new daily business features.

“Our goal is to provide more news and analysis about the people, companies and issues fuelling our vibrant Metro and Northern B.C. economy.

“In addition to the spotlight pages, our experienced team of Vancouver-based business reporters and columnists will bring you regular coverage of B.C.’s technology innovators, trends in residential and commercial real estate, agriculture and gardening, fisheries, the ethnic business community, tourism and much more.

“As part of our revamped Business section, columnist Shelley Fralic will write a weekly column on retail or, more specifically, her spendthrift ways as an unrepentant shopper under the appropriate label, Consumed.
