Huntsville Times adds standalone business section

At a time when daily newspapers are cutting their business sections, putting business news inside another section, a second newspaper has added a standalone business section.

The Huntsville Times in Alabama, which had previously included business news in its A section, published a standalone business section on Tuesday.

The Wichita Eagle in Kansas is the only other newspaper in the past two years to add a standalone business section.

Editor Kevin Wendt wrote in today’s paper, “Furthermore, you’ll find much of the national Business news you used to find in the A-section in our new standalone Business section. For many years, because Business was such a small presence, important national stories ended up in the A-section. Now, they are where they belong: in Business.”

We’ve got a call into Wendt to get more details about the change.
