Florida paper replacing WSJ Sunday with AP content

Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers in Florida are replacing the WSJ Sunday content in its paper with content from the Associated Press.

Editor Mark Tomasik writes, “Starting Feb. 15, we will introduce a business section The Associated Press will produce for us. It will be a mix of personal finance and stock market content. Like the daily business page, this section also is advertising supported.

“The Associated Press section will replace the Sunday Wall Street Journal section. The Wall Street Journal decided to discontinue that section. We know it is popular with readers and, like many of you, we are disappointed to see it go away. The final publication date for the Sunday Wall Street Journal section will be Feb. 8.

“We’re confident, though, The Associated Press Sunday business section is a worthy replacement.”
