Business news, as well as lifestyle and entertainment news, will now be found in the second section after local news and obituaries.
Editor Harry Whitin writes, “Business has been renamed Money and its emphasis will shift slightly from traditional coverage of business institutions to more consumer news.

There will be fewer stock listings, but the financial quotes for individual stocks will continue to be available at telegram.com/business.”
