Boston Herald cuts biz coverage

January 31, 2011

The Boston Herald has cut pages from its business news coverage, reports Curt Nickisch of WBUR in Boston.

Nickisch writes, “The Boston Herald is cutting pages from its business section to save money. The daily tabloid is renaming the section ‘Biz Smart.’ Among the other sections losing space is ‘Lifestyle.'”

A story on the paper’s site states, “BizSm@rt launches today on Page 16 — a totally redesigned, reimagined business section focused on news and information you need to get ahead and stay ahead in today’s innovation-driven economy.

“BizSm@rt covers the biggest business stories. The District, a new beat, focuses on who’s who in Boston’s Financial District. A new column, Next Big Thing, offers an in-depth look at the Hub’s emerging and expanding companies. And a new Digital beat focuses on the latest technology and how it can help you get ahead at work and in life.”
