Vermont paper launches business magazine

The Valley News of White Valley Junction, Vt., has started a monthly business magazine called Enterprise.

Ernie Kohlsaat, the editor of the magazine, writes, “That’s why I was happy when Valley News Publisher Dan McClory and Editor Martin Frank announced their plans to expand and enhance our business coverage by launching a monthly business magazine — and happier still when I was asked to serve as its first editor.

“For the past couple of months, my Valley News colleagues and I have been building the first issue of Enterprise: The Business Magazine of the Upper Valley. It’s been an eye-opening experience, and has perhaps given me some insight into the challenges facing those beginning a new business venture.

“But I’ve had a lot of help, notably from business writer John Lippman, who came to the Valley News after stints at the Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal; staff writer Aimee Caruso, who was named 2014 writer of the year by the New Hampshire Press Association; and night desk editor Amanda Newman, who is responsible for the look and feel of the new magazine and who will serve as its design editor. The Valley News photography staff, particularly photo and graphics editor Geoff Hansen, and savvy contributors from the community also have played key roles.”
