Georgia
is changing, politically and culturally. Although Atlanta and its
environs will continue to be important, Georgia’s other cities, and the
suburbs and small communities surrounding those cities, are expanding
their influence in shaping business in Georgia.
This
change is documented daily in Georgia’s newspapers and through its
broadcast outlets, and this web site is dedicated to highlighting the
news that tells Georgia’s changing story. Each day at Georgia Trend Business Daily, we screen Georgia’s news outlets to collect all of the news you
need to know about Georgia Business on one web page. We hope you find it to be
the best source of Georgia business news and information on the web.
Some
of the web sites we direct you to for stories may require that you
register for access. We encourage everyone to register and support
Georgia’s news organizations. When you register, you assist these
organizations in understanding how you use their news and it reinforces
the importance of covering Georgia business. We support Georgia’s newspapers and broadcast stations, and
we strongly encourage everyone to subscribe to their local Georgia newspaper.
We
post the day’s news each morning by 8:30 a.m. on weekdays (10 a.m. on
weekends and holidays) and will provide updates as news
develops, so be sure to check back throughout the day.
We
are not affiliated with any political party, ideology or organization
and do not use any political judgments in determining the news to be
included in Georgia Trend Business Daily.
If you think we’ve missed something significant, please e-mail us at newstip@georgiadailydigest.com, and we will review it for inclusion.
