Reporter's Notebook

Get ready for more

Challenging economic times are exactly when we need more communication and information. It’s during these times business owners are faced with more questions than they have ready answers for – How are others making it and growing their businesses? How can your business add value at times like these? If it’s time to cut, what goes first and how deep should the cut be?

As the Key to Southwest Washington Business, the Vancouver Business Journal is committed to addressing these and other vital questions. To do that, today we launched VBJ Business Extra to provide our readers weekly printed content.

At no additional cost, paid subscribers will receive this abbreviated issue of the VBJ every other week. We know time is money, and it’s our intention to include brief news items to keep you abreast of the constantly changing business landscape and links to more in-depth information on these topics whenever possible.

Plus, our website will start to feature new items posted daily and exclusively at www.vbjusa.com. We want to hear what you think of our new issue and what information you’d like to see in it.
