A month ago, the Green Bay Press-Gazette unveiled a redesign of the daily newspaper that included cutting the stock listings from the newspaper.
Executive Editor John Dye noted that subscribers complained, so the paper is bringing back the stock listings.
Dye wrote, “Some readers, however, were unhappy with our decision to drop stock and mutual fund tables. Although we offer readers a free option to track their favorite stocks online, some readers said they don’t have a computer, or have a computer but don’t have access to the Internet.
“Even those with access said they found the printed stock tables more convenient.
“So, beginning today, and on every Sunday, we’ll publish one and one-half pages of the most active stocks on the New York, Nasdaq and American Stock exchanges, and a page of Mutual Fund tables.”
