Washington Post to eliminate stand-alone business section

Starting March 30, The Washington Post will no longer publish a stand-alone business section, according to Editor & Publisher. Instead, business news will run in the A section of the paper.

The Post is also eliminating daily stock listings. It will instead offer a half-page of statistics and graphics that will focus on prices of major and local stocks and other economic data.
Many newspapers have been eliminating standalone business sections to cut production costs amid plunging advertising revenue. Last month, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced similar plans, and earlier this month the Los Angeles Times shrunk from five to four daily sections.

The cost-saving move will not affect Sunday editions, which will continue to publish a stand-alone business section.
