San Francisco paper cuts rest of weekday standalone biz sections

The San Francisco Chronicle, which a year ago cut its standalone business section on Mondays and Tuesdays, has decided to cut its standalone business section for the rest of the work week.

On Mondays and Tuesdays, the business section had appeared in the back of the sports section. It will now be in the back of the Bay Area section every day.

Other metro dailies that have cut their standalone business sections in the past two years include the The St. Petersburg Times, The Tampa Tribune, The (Raleigh) News & Observer, Denver Post, Orange County Register, Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, Reno (Nev.) Gazette-Journal, Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal, Monterey (Calif.) Herald, Palm Beach Post and Akron (Ohio) Beacon-Journal.

Chronicle editor Ward Bushee writes, “We are excited to unveil our changes today.

“But our readers know this is an extraordinarily challenging period for American newspapers, which are further endangered by the economic crisis. At this moment, a few big-city newspapers are for sale and, regrettably, some may shut down.”
