North Carolina newspaper changes Sunday business section

The Fayetteville Observer newspaper in North Carolina has changed its Sunday business section to a new section called Jobs & Money, which is focused on careers and investing.

Brian Tolley wrote, “Your favorite features from the Sunday Business section, including Business Observer, the weekly stock recap and the Motley Fool, remain. Among the new content is a column by Business Editor Don Worthington and a careers Q&A by Mary Ellen Slayter of the Washington Post.

“Adding news content to pages containing classified ads is a new look for us, but our recent kickoff of a new Web site for job seekers has us excited about the merger.

“CapeFearEmployment.com, which partners with Yahoo HotJobs, has search and job-matching tools that should mean more and better advertisements for the paper. We hope youâ€™ll find Jobs & Money one of our most useful sections to read each week.”
