New Features

Branching Out. Global Finance is expanding its editorial coverage. The May issue will include new sections focusing on U.S. and international ecommerce and e-
finance news. Editor Ernest McCrary says the magazine and the Web site are changing to reflect the needs of the new economy. Plans are on hold until additional staff is hired.
News and information of new hires will be announced as they occur. Also, Investor's Business Daily announces a new two-page section, Internet & Technology, which
replaces the one-page Computers & Technology feature. The section will include increased coverage of the Internet, IPOs, and other tech issues. This change is part of a series
of improvements, including a new front-page nameplate and design. (http://www.investors.com.)
