Two smaller papers cut stock listings

The Monterey Herald in California and the Fredericksburg paper in Virginia are both cutting their stock listings.

The Monterey paper stated, “Because many of our readers turn to the Internet for stock information, The Herald is introducing a modified format of financial data on Saturdays. Starting today, you’ll find an abbreviated stocks offering in your newspaper, but an expanded financial markets package on our Web site. Go to www.montereyherald.com/business to track major market indexes and to get information on more than 7,000 stocks and 17,000 mutual funds. Business news will move to the back of the A section on Saturdays.”

The Free Lance-Star, meanwhile, will “discontinue stock listings during the week, while adding helpful general indicators. We will continue to offer several pages of weekly stock and mutual fund listings in the Saturday paper,” said editor Ed Jones.
