Mark Treinen, the executive editor of the Wausau Daily Herald in Wisconsin, writes Saturday about improvements to the paper’s business news coverage.
Treinen writes, “But if you pick up a copy of Sunday’s paper, you’ll see that we’ve added new features to what are now called our Central Wisconsin Business pages in the B section.
“Those include:
» Jake Miller‘s weekly Business Desk column: Miller, our business and health reporter, summarizes and analyzes some of the latest economic news in the region.
» Top 10 lists: Every other week, we produce a list of items of interest to business readers, such as top 10 cars purchased, top Wisconsin golf courses, top dairy-producing counties, etc.
» Business Barometer: On opposite weeks from Top 10 lists, we provide a statistical report on measurements of the local economy, ranging from building permits by county to the latest local sales tax collections.
» Great job!: This is a brag board for local employers to highlight outstanding performance of individual staff members. To learn more or nominate someone for this feature, contact Debbie Siburt at dsiburt@wausau.gannett.com or at 715-845-0602.
» Wisconsin Job Counter: This weekly graphic tracks job-related news across the state.”
