Biz blog grows at Grand Forks Herald

A month after Ryan Schuster began working as a business reporter at the Grand Forks (N.D.) Herald, he launched a business blog on his newspaper's Web site.
The blog focuses on local, regional and business news and topics that affect consumers and businesses in North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.
And since it's launch, Schuster says his audience has continued to grow.
"For about a year before taking the job in Grand Forks and I was excited about the opportunities to combine online and print reporting and also offer a forum for the public to comment on business happenings," Schuster said. "In February it had the second-most hits of the about 10 blogs at the Herald. Most of the interest from those posting comments center around consumer issues like what stores and restaurants are coming to the area and issues like customer service and what they like or don't like about local stores."
