Atlanta paper eliminates stand-alone biz section

The Associated Press reports The Atlanta-Journal Constitution will merge its Tuesday-Saturday stand-alone business section with "an expanded A section" in order to cut costs as advertising revenue continues to decline. 

From the story:

In an open letter published in Sunday's editions, Publisher Doug Franklin said the changes were aimed at "balancing our financial need against what we have learned about you, our readers, value most." Franklin said the newspaper already has cut staff, frozen pay and retreated from delivering newspapers to costlier areas.

The changes are scheduled to be implemented in mid-March.
