Washington state paper cuts stock listings

Mike Benbow, the business editor of the Everett Herald in Washington state, writes Monday that the paper is trimming the size of its business section by cutting its stock listings.

Benbow writes, “We’re eliminating listings of the New York and Nasdaq stock exchanges on weekdays, reducing what had been a full page of stock market information to a half-page.

“We’ll still keep the listings for Northwest stocks, the biggest mutual funds and all the other market information we have been running each day. And we’re adding some more information on commodities, such as what’s happening to oil prices.

“We’ll continue to have complete stock listings in our Saturday paper. Bottom line: you’ll still be able to check how your stocks are doing in The Herald, just not every day.”
