Ventura County Star expands biz coverage

The Ventura County Star (Camarillo, Calif.) recently announced it will put a strong focus on growing its online business coverage.
On Sunday, the paper launched a business webshell, a place on the paper's site that caters specifically to business coverage and will provide more in-depth content.
Managing Editor John T. Moore told readers that they can search for older business stories through the archives and also get the current news.
He said the site will let readers spend more time with some of the bigger business stories and will also feature new online only content. For example, a new Ask Allison feature will allow readers to pose a question on a product or business trend to reporter Allison Bruce.
From Moore's announcement:

All the local stories from the newspaper are there. They are divided into the major topics of interest: Housing and Real Estate, Tech, Money, Retail and the Workplace and Agriculture The added attraction for our Business shell is that we've made it easier to find that story from yesterday's publication or from last week. If you're like me, you're forever forgetting to clip out that story from today's paper that you want to save. Now, it will be even easier to find it on the Business shell. You can use the search or just scroll through each themed section until you find your story.

Newspapers have long held a wealth of information that we were only able to give out to you once a day in bites limited by the available space in print. We are going to continue to provide that news each and every morning. But now, online, we want to take advantage of the depth and richness available on that publishing platform to expand on information in a way we have never been able to do.
