Harrisburg paper cuts stock listings

July 30, 2006

The Harrisburg Patriot-News has cut its daily stock listings, noted exectuive editor David Newhouse in a column in Sunday’s paper. The paper had said back in April that it was considering making such a change.

David NewhouseReaders can now get stock prices online on the paper’s Web site, or through a phone service.

Newhouse wrote, “Like any business, we are constantly responding to the needs of our customers, as well as to new technologies.

“Above all, the Internet has changed the way we communicate, shop, do business and find the information we need.

“Nowhere is that more true than in the stock market, where online trading has become the norm and investors can now research information at the touch of a few keys.

“That’s why, starting today, you will find a change in our stock listings. Instead of pages of stocks and mutual funds, you will find a daily summary of the market. Over the coming weeks, we will add even more charts and features to give you a lively snapshot of that day on Wall Street.”
