Changes to Connecticut paper's business section

Anthony Cronin, the business editor of the New London Day in Connecticut, writes Sunday about changes to the paper’s business section.

One of the changes is that Cronin’s column, which had focused on workplace issues during the week, will now move to the Sunday business section and cover a wider variety of topics.

Cronin wrote, “This column isn’t the only new item you’ll notice in today’s Business section. Among other changes:

“Joyce Rosenberg, a veteran and talented business writer with The Associated Press who writes a weekly column about small-business issues, will now be featured on the cover of our Sunday business section.

“Our weekly stocks and mutual funds coverage is now done in a two-page package, rather than three pages. We still feature all three markets â€” the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq market â€” as well as mutual fund listings and weekly money market rates. We also include weekly charts about interest rates, commodities, currencies and stocks in the spotlight.”
