Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post, talked Sunday about the paper’s decision last year to cut its standalone business section and put business news into its A section.
Downie, now a professor at Arizona State University, also discussed the strategy behind the Post’s decision to launch a weekly business newspaper next month called Capital Business.
Downie was responding to a question from Talking Biz News at the annual Society of American Business Editors and Writers conference in Phoenix.
