The Society of American Business Editors and Writers unveiled a new web site Friday morning, just in time for the groups fall conference in New York City, which begins on Sunday.
Of particular interest to business journalists is the increased emphasis on training. There are new tip sheets under the training section that include how to cover a new company in town, how to write an earnings story, how to cover bankruptcy, how to determine if a company has been backdating stock options, and tips on covering the economy. These are similar to the tip sheets seen on the Investigative Reporters & Editors web site.
Also new are links along the right-hand column to other resources, such as PR Newswire and the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
Beginning next month, the news section on the web site will have more breaking news about the business journalism industry.
