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.
