The Herald is this week expanding its business coverage with the launch of a daily page dedicated to opinion, insight and analysis.
Our Business Voices commentary page will feature articles from staff writers and a range of senior figures in the business world. There will be new weekly columns from business writers Scott Wright and Mark Williamson. And there will be an extra weekly column from business editor Ian McConnell, in addition to his Friday Called to Account column.
Business Voices, also available online, will focus on key economic and business issues, and on topics of crucial importance to particular sectors, including oil and gas, financial services, tourism, food and drink, technology and retail.
Insight into key legal sector issues and leadership will also feature.
Business Voices will include interviews with entrepreneurs, and share the experiences of people running the small and medium-sized enterprises that are so crucial to Scotland’s economy and labour market.

Mr McConnell said: “This is an exciting development as The Herald expands its business coverage, harnessing the expertise and sector specialisms of our staff writers. Business Voices will feature insight from senior figures in the business community, and those running the firms that are creating economic wealth and providing valuable employment.
“I hope you enjoy our expanded section.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
