BizJournal

The citizens at the Piper Sandler BizJournal create and print a newspaper about their day at BizTown. Reporters write about the state of BizTown after talking with the mayor and other citizens. Piper Sandler BizJournal photographers snap photos of citizens working hard at their jobs and having fun, while the whole team works together to make their very own newspaper! Once printed, the BizJournal employees will deliver a stack of newspapers, made available to each citizen and volunteer!
