Power Play. Designed exclusively for subscribers, this newsletter promises to deliver a comprehensive snapshot of the Boston business landscape, crafted by two of the city’s leading business journalists,
Shirley Leung and
Jon Chesto.
Set to be issued twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, Power Play aims to anchor readers' weeks with original reporting on various sectors that significantly impact the region's economy, such as real estate, healthcare, energy, and finance. Each edition will not only feature business scoops and insightful articles but also offer insider commentary and opinions from Leung and Chesto, adding a unique perspective on the latest happenings in Boston.
Brian McGrory, the editor of The Boston Globe, expressed enthusiasm about expanding the newspaper's business coverage during this pivotal time in the local economy, remarking, “We’re doubling down on our business coverage at a critical moment for the Boston region.” McGrory emphasized that giving prominent journalists like Leung and Chesto a platform will enhance the quality of reporting available to readers.
The newsletter aims to serve individuals who hold the reins in Massachusetts, providing them with the tools and insights necessary to navigate the competitive business environment. With decades of combined experience, Leung and Chesto have been at the forefront of major business stories, from the evolution of the Seaport District to the intense Market Basket executive succession saga. Power Play seeks to distill these experiences into a digestible format that keeps subscribers informed about not just the news but also the people behind the news.
Leung and Chesto's collaborative efforts in Power Play represent a fresh approach to reporting on the intricacies of business dynamics within Boston. Subscribers can expect a mix of hard news and lighter takes on the day's events, creating a well-rounded experience that caters to a diverse readership.
The very first edition of Power Play is set to land in subscribers' inboxes today.
