Business news following this embattled economy is high in demand right about now. Global news network the Associated Press is realigning their Business News department around 12 core beats. The beats are: Financial Markets; Economy; Retailing; Technology; Media, entertainment, leisure and lodging; Health Care; Autos; Airlines; Energy; Manufacturing; Personal Finance; and Real estate. From the press release:
"The Associated Press this week realigned its Business News department around 12 core beats headed by 12 editors who will now lead coverage by the teams of reporters newly assigned to the beats.
"'Our goal is to improve everything we do so we can be more successful in an increasingly competitive market for business news,' said Business Editor Hal Ritter. 'Building these beats will allow us to deepen our coverage of spot news, break more news and produce more outstanding enterprise.'
"Reporters will be based in New York , Washington and 28 other domestic bureaus to provide authoritative coverage of companies and news sources on each beat. The teams will have 5-10 reporters each. Some two dozen business reporters in international bureaus will provide additional coverage of the beats."
UPDATE: WSJ cuts 50 jobs.
