Greensboro paper dropping Sunday stand-alone section

The Greensboro News & Record will move its Sunday business section, which previously has been a stand-alone section, into the back of its Ideas section beginning next month, said business editor John Nagy.

This is the first such decision I’ve heard about a paper cutting a stand-alone weekend section. Some papers such as the Cincinnati Enquirer cut their daily business sections when they decided to drop their stock listings.

I haven’t found an official announcement of this switch, but Nagy told me about it personally at a business journalism conference last week, and one of his reporters e-mailed me about it this weekend.
