AJC editor explains business section changes

Julia Wallace, the editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, writes Sunday about the upcoming changes to the paper’s business section, which Talking Biz News broke last month.

Wallace writes, “The stand-alone Sunday Business section will remain, but the Tuesday-Saturday Business section will no longer be a separate section. It will become part of the A section Tuesday-Saturday. This was a difficult decision. After all, Atlanta is a business town.

“We will work hard to retain our strength as the premier place for local business news, while offering highlights from the national and international scene. We will organize the A section into chapters —- first nation and world, then business and then opinion. The business chapter will begin with a full page heavily devoted to local business.

“On additional pages, we will keep the very popular national and world business briefs package along with Wednesday’s list of local CD yields. We also will keep the markets page, with the stock listings as well as some of the other current features. The largest loss will be some of the national business stories we now run. This begins Tuesday.”
