A reorganization of the Bay Area News Group, which includes the San Jose Mecury News, will result in each paper in the East Bay getting a standalone business section.
A story on the newspaper’s website states, ” The East Bay papers will have a stand-alone Business section every day that will include business news from across the region.
“A section focusing on Technology will be added to the East Bay papers on Mondays.”
The Contra Costa Times, Valley Times, San Ramon Valley Times, Tri-Valley Herald, San Joaquin Herald, and East County Times will now be branded under The Times masthead, while the Oakland Tribune, Alameda Times-Star, Daily Review, Argus and West County Times will be rebranded as the East Bay Tribune.

The Oakland Tribune rolled out a standalone business section in 2008.
