The Times of London has closed its “Money Mentor’ section and says it is relaunching its personal finance offering instead, report Alice Brooker and Charlotte Tobitt of Press Gazette.
Brooker and Tobitt report, “The Times launched Money Mentor in December 2019 as a free, in-front of the paywall site designed to ‘demystify finance’ and make it “less complex and daunting” for readers.
“Its Couch to £5k newsletter, a six-week series aimed at helping people build up their savings, was named best financial newsletter at the Publisher Newsletter Awards in June. The brand was also shortlisted for its four-week Pension Power-Up series.
“The section’s webpage now reads: ‘Times Money Mentor is no longer operational, but you can still access a wide range of personal finance content and tools through Times Money, at thetimes.com/business-money/money.’
“The Times has appointed Ben Wilkinson, formerly head of money at The Telegraph, to lead a revamped money section which is set to officially launch in the autumn.”
