Indiana paper brings back daily mutual funds

The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette said Tuesday that it would once again publish short list of mutual funds to the business section Tuesday through Friday after receiving reader complaints.

A short item in the paper stated, “We dropped our mutual fund listings from the Tuesday through Friday newspapers in January and began using that space to provide additional business news, including more stories on quarterly earnings reports. We did, however, continue to run mutual funds in the Sunday Journal Gazette.

“Many newspapers across the country are reducing the amount of space they dedicate to mutual fund and stock listings. But based on the calls and e-mails we received, we know that many of our readers still place a value on finding this information in the newspaper.

“The mutual funds list that we will run Tuesday through Friday will include the top 250 mutual funds – based on assets – as provided by The Associated Press. The list that will continue to run each Sunday will be the same, more extensive list that our readers are used to.”
