Washington Post Co. CEO Donald Graham defended his company’s decision to put business news inside its paper’s A section instead of giving it a standalone section in a speech Tuesday to the Economic Club of Washington.
The Post cuts its standalone business section in March 2009. Since that time, the Post cut a deal with Bloomberg News where the wire service is now providing a lot of the paper’s non-Washington business coverage.
Other large metro newspapers that have cut their standalone business sections include the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Orange County Register, St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Tribune, The (Raleigh) News & Observer, Denver Post, 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.
However, on Tuesday, the San Jose Mercury News announced internally that it was bringing back its standalone section.
