The Saskatoon Star Phoenix newspaper is joining the multitudes of newspapers that have cut their stock listings. Murray Lyons writes in Saturday’s paper that the changes will take effect next Saturday.
“Instead we will join the national trend away from devoting massive amounts of newspaper space to stock tables — which surveys show only a handful of readers actually use every day — and devote that space to more news content.
“That doesn’t mean The StarPhoenix is abandoning stock listings altogether.
“We will carry a daily package Tuesday to Saturday that includes the stocks that make up the S&P TSX composite.
“Plus, we will carry the most 100 active stocks from the previous day’s trading on the junior TSX Venture exchange. For both exchanges, we will carry the top 10 winners and losers by net dollar value and percentage.”
