Putting related content into one section

Washington Post managing editors Raju Narisetti and Liz Spayd answered questions online Monday about the paper’s recent changes, including putting business news into the A section.

Here’s a sample:

Washington, D.C.: The answer to Alexandria about the lack of business news this morning certainly did not address his concerns or questions. Was that intentional?

Raju Narisetti and Liz Spayd: The biggest story in this morning’s Post was a business story — on the auto industry. Normally on Monday morning, the business section has been devoted to Washington business with any other business news running in the A section.

With this change, Washington business will get dedicated space Monday-Friday. Rest of the week Business will get its own space inside A section as well as additional space on Page 1, depending on news. The Sunday Business section will be as robust as ever.

Online, we have added Business to home page navigation bar and this morning unveiled additional Business content in a redesigned Business & Economy section.
