Florida paper to cut standalone business section

The Bradenton Herald, a McClatchy newspaper, will cut its standalone business section beginning next week.

The Herald joins other McClatcy papers such as the Fresno Bee, the Myrtle Beach Sun News and The (Raleigh) News & Observer in making such a move.

Executive editor Joan Krauter writes, “Starting Tuesday, the daily Business section will be combined with the Local section. Economic news remains the No. 1 story in most of our lives, so we looked for ways to make sure we had more space for local business coverage, even as we tightened the paper.

“We’re condensing the Money & Markets agate to one page, highlighting stocks of local interest, top earnings reports, dividends, foreign exchange funds, the top 500 NYSE stocks and the top 500 mutual funds. Many newspapers have eliminated daily listings all together, but readers have told us they still have keen interest in the information on this page.”
