February 16, 2009

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has become the latest newspaper — and one of the largest — to cut its standalone business section during the week.

The move, which is expected to be announced this Sunday, will take place next month, and business news will now have three pages inside the A section, according to sources in Atlanta. A standalone Sunday business section will remain.

The move will occur with other changes at the paper, such as combining the Arts and Living sections on Sunday.

Other large metro dailies that have cut their standalone business section during the week include the San Francisco Chronicle, the Denver Post, the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
