Idaho paper changes biz section name, cuts stock listings

The Twins Falls Times-News in Idaho is changing the name of its business section from Money to Business and cutting its stock listings, according to a story Tuesday by Joshua Palmer.

Palmer wrote, “The new name will more accurately reflect its coverage of the individuals and organizations that influence local and national business and industry.

“The Times-News will launch its redesigned business Web page at Magicvalley.com on Dec. 18, which will include the following financial tools:

— Real-time market reports with up-to-the-minute information on more than 63,000 stocks as well as mutual funds.

— A stock ticker to keep readers updated on the most active stocks and funds.

— Individual profiles on each publicly-traded stock, as well as the ability to create your own portfolio profile – something that can be available each time you return to Magicvalley.com.”
