Reno paper moves business section inside paper

The Reno Gazette-Journal will no longer have a standalone business section during the week, according to a short story in Wednesday’s paper.

The Reno paper joins the Akron Beacon-Journal and the Cincinnati Enquirer as newspapers that have moved the business section inside of the paper instead of giving it standalone status.
