Plain Dealer to cut pages, sections

The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, Ohio, is cutting an average of 32 pages per week and eliminating four stand-alone sections, including Monday Business, said Managing Editor Debra Adams Simmons.
She said the page cuts would be different on different days but that the end goal was to reduce the weekly page counts.
The paper will also reduce its daily two-page opinion section to one page but will increase the Sunday opinion pages by two pages.
The changes were rolled out to subscribers in a two-page guide distributed with the paper on Sunday.
