California paper to cut biz section during week

The San Luis Obispo County Tribune announced Monday that its business section would be trimmed several days during the week.

The paper’s editor is Sandy Duerr, who was president of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers in 1991 when she was with the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Duerr writes, “Savings in newsprint allows The Tribune to retain staffing, focusing its energy on covering local news.

“The Monday and Tuesday editions were selected to be condensed because they have fewer ads and slightly smaller circulation than the other days of the week. The move will be reviewed after revenue improves.

“The Wednesday through Sunday editions will not be condensed, though the Business section will be trimmed back on a few days.”
