As Lexmark marks its 15th anniversary today, readers may have noticed we have recently stepped up our coverage of Lexington’s only Fortune 500 company. We have given our newest reporter Scott Sloan, a graduate of UK, where he earned an MBA, the task of making Lexmark part of his coverage. In addition to reading every Lexmark story published by the Herald-Leader and poring through the company’s financial filings, Scott landed an interview with Lexmark CEO Paul Curlander, which you can read in this morning’s Herald-Leader and listen to extended excerpts of that interview on our web site, Kentucky.com. Our more intensive coverage of Lexmark, along with enhanced coverage of Toyota, small business, personal finance and economic development, just to name a few, is part of our effort to bring you more depth and breadth of the business landscape in Kentucky. If you have ideas to share, I would love to hear from you. You can get in touch with me at (859) 231-3236 or twethall@herald-leader.com

In the “old days” most newspapers had a labor reporter, who covered business from the workers’ perspective. I hope The Herald-Leader continues to understand and report workers’ angst as they cope with an ever changing workplace. H-L employees should know of which I speak, after having their company purchased by McClatchy.
