"... a similar-sized McClatchy paper, the Sacramento Bee, is expected to soon announce that it’s cutting its stand-alone section beginning next month."The Sacramento Bee has announced it will be folding its business and "Metro" sections into a generic "Our Region" section. Melanie Sill made the announcement over the weekend. Her announcement included a promise the business coverage will increase. Sacbee:
Business coverage won't be cut, she says. "In fact, we want to expand it with more news (print and online) and improvements in the Sunday business section."I can't imagine how the Bee can increase business coverage the way Sill implies, unless she means the increase will come from online news. Or, the Sunday business pages - not the weekday pages - will be increased. And by the way, what kind of name is "Our Region"? Most Bee readers live in Sacramento, not in a Region.
