Tennessee editor: We're keeping standalone business section

Jack McElroy, the editor of the Knoxville News Sentinel, responds Sunday to complaints from readers about recent changes in the paper, including the cutting of printed stock listings, and tells them that the paper is keeping its standalone business section.

McElroy writes, “Many readers enjoyed the convenience of the printed stock listings. But we know that fewer people have been using the tables and more have been turning to the array of information online.

“Across the country, many newspapers, including The New York Times, have eliminated their stock tables, and standalone business sections have vanished from papers such as The Orange County Register, The Denver Post, The Columbus Dispatch and The Winston-Salem Journal.

“We decided to keep a separate Business section because of the importance we place on local business news, but we felt we could no longer devote two pages a day to stock listings.”
