Missouri papers eliminate business section

The Sun Newspapers in Johnson County have done some cost cutting to its Northland group, as the Sun’s St. Joseph-based owner decided to eliminate the papers’ business section, reports Dan Margolies of the Kansas City Star.

Margolies wrote, “The section, which ran in the Sun Tribune, Sun Gazette and Liberty Tribune, will be replaced by a lifestyles section dependent on Web content.

“In conjunction with the section’s elimination, Gene Hanson, who did most of the business section’s reporting and editing, has been let go.

“Also let go were a full-time copy editor, a part-time copy editor and staffers in circulation and collections.

“The job cuts came shortly after sweeping cuts at Sun’s weeklies in Johnson County by Sun’s owner, News-Press & Gazette Co., publisher of the daily St. Joseph News-Press.”
