Businessam.co.uk is soon to launch a fully searchable archive of every edition of the paper since its first in September last year. This service, along with other interactive features, will be available free to all registered users.
And Business a.m., the daily paper, is to increase its team of foreign correspondents, expand its 'PM' and 'Investor' sections, and turn its Friday edition into a two-day 'Weekend' format.
It now has 70 journalists, with correspondents in Washington DC, San Francisco, Brussels, Prague, Stockholm, Berlin, and Tokyo.
Business a.m.'s online service provides breaking news on Scottish business through the website, businessam.co.uk, and hand-held devices. It also provides a discussion forum for Scottish business. The company's online activities are being co-ordinated by new media director Deirdre O'Callaghan.
It features regular coverage of the dot.com market, and monthly interviews with local movers and shakers. This month reporter Ross Laurie interviewed Ian Gardiner, founder of website Last Orders.
Jim Chisholm, Business a.m. managing director, said: "Investment in editorial is the key to our continued success. Our research shows that Business a.m. readers are prepared to pay for more insight, more in-depth reporting, and more analysis."
Business a.m recently announced a circulation of 10,941 - ahead of target for the end of 2000.
Its parent company, The Bonnier Group, owns nine other financial titles similar to Business a.m. in various countries across Europe. The flagship is the Stockholm-based business daily Dagens Industri, which has built up a daily sale of 120,000 since its launch in 1976. In recent years Bonnier has acquired or launched titles in Denmark, Austria, Poland, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Slovenia.
