Student requests business news

I would like to begin by saying that in my opinion The Observer is one of the better run college papers that I have come across. The layout works well and for the most part the articles are well written, and that is something that many schools cannot boast about their respective papers.
However, I think that a business section would be a fantastic addition because it would continue to broaden the scope of your audience and help make the paper even more complete. The business world effects everyone because it shapes the economy and therefore deserves to be reported on in our newspaper. There is so much new information that develops everyday, so filling a column or page with interesting news would definitely not be a problem.
Furthermore, graduating seniors looking for jobs in such a tight market would greatly appreciate being able to keep up any new developments that might enable them to gain the competitive edge over graduates from other schools. Adding a business section can only add to the quality of the paper, and I hope that you honor the requests of the students searching for more complete knowledge about their environment.
