Washington Post cuts business section
Posted on: Saturday, 14 March 2009, 08:04 CDT
The Washington Post Saturday said it will fold its business coverage into the newspaper's A
section, further trimming the size of the daily newspaper.
The move to eliminate the Post's stand-alone business page six days per week will enable drastic reductions of its printed stock tables and trim the number of daily sections from five to four, Post officials said.
From a reader-experience point of view, having business and economic news in the A section -- overlapping with national, international, political and policy news -- makes a great deal of sense,
Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli said in an interview with his newspaper Friday, indicating it likely means many business stories would receive less prominence in the future.
The Post said it had earlier eliminated the Sunday Source and Book World sections, as well as combining the Sunday Arts and Style sections.
