Ohio paper cuts stock listings

The Tribune Chronicle in Warren, Ohio is cutting its printed stock listings from Tuesday through Saturday.

A story in the paper Sunday stated, “Tuesday, the newspaper will unveil a new look to its daily financial pages. For years, the newspaper has provided a comprehensive daily listing of stocks and mutual funds, which allowed readers to track items of their choosing from the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or AMEX exchanges. There also was a grouping of Wall Street and general financial news along with the listings.

“The improved format brings important financial data with a fresh look. In addition to listing some stocks, including local ones, and mutual funds, the new format highlights trends and analyses in text and graphic forms to replace the static full-page listings previously offered. A third business page will continue to focus on local developments.

“‘The format changes will provide the depth of coverage readers have come to expect from the Tribune Chronicle: concisely written and packaged information for time-pressed readers who want useful market news and trends quickly,’ said Frank Robinson, editor of the newspaper. ‘These are changing times, and newspapers have to adjust to the needs of the readers.”
