Writers to share Sunday biz column for Green Bay daily

Richard Ryman of the Green Bay Press-Gazette writes about how he’s now sharing the Sunday business column with another business reporter.

Ryman writes, “Today marks my 520th consecutive Sunday in the Press-Gazette. That’s 10 years without a break, through vacations, unpaid furloughs and one nasty kidney stone. My business column appeared 519 of those Sundays (did I mention that kidney stone) and a lot of stories were mixed in as well.

“The streak will continue for a while, I think, but with fewer columns on my part. I am on vacation this week and for the first time in 10 years did not write two (or three) columns before I left. Instead, Jeff Bollier and I will share the Sunday business column duties. Jeff is our primary business writer who joined the Press-Gazette last year after I assumed the Packers business reporter role.

“I will continue writing columns on mostly alternating Sundays and provide a lot of Sunday Packers business stories, as well.”
