Cuts mean cutting the business section - on Sunday

It's only fair that if I'm going to mention the cuts happening in Tampa, where the Tribune cut 70 employees, that I then direct attention to changes happening here at the Herald-Tribune. The Herald-Tribune is also a favorite stop on a tour of American-led convergence efforts.

Most prominent among recent cuts is the Sunday business section. Here's how our executive editor, Mike Connelly, explained the end of the section for readers:

Starting today, we are suspending publication of the Sunday Business & Money section. We hate to do this, but the Internet has changed the value of Sunday business.

For decades, Sunday business sections were built around weekly stock listings. But as more people use the Internet to check stock prices, it didn't make sense to run nearly the same stock information on Saturday and Sunday.

When looking for cuts, this is a practical one to make. Still, not everyone is going to agree. Feedback about this change is welcome -- somewhere else. Comments are closed on this blog entry because I'm not a total moron.
