Salt Lake readers upset with cut printed stock listings

Connie Coyne, the reader advocate for the Salt Lake Tribune, writes Saturday about how readers are upset with the paper’s decision to cut its printed stock listings.

After complaints, the paper did begin printing precious metal quotes again.

Coyne writes, “Many of you have expressed dismay that we eliminated what amounts to about a page of agate type that contained the stock information from the previous day’s trading.

“One reader expressed the opinions of many readers in this e-mail:

“‘I am very disappointed with your decision to only list a very limited list of daily stock quotes. In an effort to save money, I have been trying to get my wife to cancel the paper for quite some time. She has resisted so far, but this is the final straw. The only portion I read regularly is the stock quote. If there are plans to consider reinstating the stock page in its entirety, I would certainly like to know about it. Otherwise, I will not be renewing my subscription.’

“We will be sorry to lose you as a subscriber if you follow through on that.

The Tribune was one of the last daily newspapers to eliminate the large stock market listings. We did it only after determining that stock market information is available a number of different ways in today’s world.”
