The ABC-affiliate TV station has launched a segment titled “This Week in Springfield Business Journal,” airing during the Sunday 10 p.m. and Monday morning newscasts. SBJ editors and reporters are interviewed as expert sources on the topics they cover to give an inside look at the following week’s top stories.
The new segment debuted May 25 with Reporter Matt Wagner’s breaking story of a new community bank in Springfield filing for state charter. Watch a KSPR video of the feature here.
This weekend, SBJ Editor Eric Olson goes on camera with anchor Kyle Bosch to discuss next week’s In Focus cover story about a looming budget crisis for the Missouri Department of Transportation. MoDOT could lose more than half of its funding in fiscal 2010 when Amendment 3 dollars are redirected from road projects to pay off bonds.
The SBJ-KSPR partnership also has a Web component through which sbj.net daily headlines are fed to KSPR’s Web site. When a new version of sbj.net launches later this year, it will have a KSPR feed that pulls the station’s news headlines and weather updates.
See SBJ's June 2 issue for the complete story on MoDOT’s funding trouble and Olson’s first-person account on the SBJ-history-making partnership.[[In-content Ad]]
Under construction beside the existing Republic branch of the Springfield-Greene County Library District – which remains in operation throughout the project – is a new building that will double the size of the original, according to library officials.
