Gulp: More competition

rbizApparently BizSense isn’t alone in thinking that Richmond needs more business news. This morning Richmond.com launched a business blog by James Bacon, of the Bacon’s Rebellion blog.

Today is the first day of operation, and so far the blog seems to be examining the big companies around Richmond with a more opinionated take on press releases. BizSense caters more to the small business owners and other business professionals, but still, I swallowed hard when I saw it this morning.

In theory, journalism is one of those businesses where competition is supposed to strengthen everyone. Newspapers were traditionally stronger when they had cross-town competition. Charlottesville has two thriving alternative weeklies (like Style Weekly).

But that’s in theory.

Please email strategy tips about how competition can help both parties involved.

If you have an anecdote about how your business dealt with a new competitor, please share.
