Florida paper will make stock listings bigger

The Charlotte Sun-Herald newspaper is working to make the typeface of its stock listings bigger than the normal so that its elderly population can read them better.

David Dunn-Rankin wrote, “We had a nice phone call from a reader who reminded us that the primary user of newspaper stock listings is also the most likely to need reading glasses. Why can’t we make the stock listings bigger? We can and we will.

“Executive Editor Jim Gouvellis and our business section copy chief Seth Plavner are working with the Associated Press to make that happen next week. You will know it is done when we use another half page of space of the business section for the larger stock listings.”
