Tennessee paper cuts stock listings

The Knoxville News Sentinel will cut its printed stock listings beginning next week, according to a story in Saturday’s paper.

The A-to-Z stock listings will be discontinued, but stocks of local interest still will appear daily along with other data on the markets.

The story stated, “Some of these change, too, are intended to reduce costs. Like other newspapers, we have been affected by sharply rising expenses, altered advertising patterns and the overall slowdown in the economy. During this time of transition, we want to do everything we can to produce a newspaper that is affordable as well as readable.

“But we believe that many of the changes will make the News Sentinel more engaging and easier to use, as well.”
