Charlotte Observer cuts standalone business section to three days

The Charlotte Observer has become the latest daily metro to cut its standalone business section, but only on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It will remain a standalone section on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Other McClatchy papers that have made the cut include The (Raleigh) News & Observer, the Myrtle Beach Sun News and the Fresno Bee.

Editor Rick Thames writes, “In reformatting the business news, we have trimmed back market listings that are now commonly available on many Web sites, including CharlotteObserver.com (go to ‘business,’ then ‘market summary’). However, we have retained our stock listings of more than 100 Carolinas-oriented companies, as well as our Readers’ Choice listing of more than 300 stocks.

“Where are the mutual funds? Our list of 270 funds, many of them requested by readers, will still appear inside the Friday and Saturday Business sections.

“The Money&Markets analysis and snapshots of business sectors and the economy will also appear on those days.”
