Louisville paper cuts stock listings

The Louisville Courier-Journal is cutting its stock listings and will begin using the Associated Press’ Money & Markets page, writes public editor Pam Platt on Sunday.

Platt wrote, “Starting in Tuesday’s Business section, the daily stock listings found in the print edition of The Courier-Journal will be pared to a more concise, locally focused report called Money & Markets. At the same time, online options regarding broader financial information will be expanded for courier-journal.com users.

“In the print report, the overall ups and downs of a variety of indices will be illustrated. Three dozen or more stocks of local interest will continue their traditional listings, as will mutual funds offered by some of the area’s largest employers to their workers through retirement savings plans. Also, the stock action of four major industries of local interest – automotive, health care, restaurants and industrial transportation – will be followed in the new presentation, as will local grain and cattle prices.

“The online component to the report is expanded, to go along with the changes in print.”
