Tampa Tribune cuts standalone Sunday biz section

The Tampa Tribune will no longer publish a standalone Sunday Business and Money section, according to an editor’s note in Friday’s paper. The section will now be found in the back of the Commentary section.

The note stated, “Readers will find the front of the Business and Money section by turning to the back of the Commentary section. We have added new features to our mutual fund pages to help readers track trends and important economic news on the horizon. Our mutual fund pages will list 2,000 of the largest funds and remain the most comprehensive listing found in a Sunday newspaper in the Bay area.”
