Going, Going, Gone?Coverage for your business in the local newspaper might be increasingly hard to come by.

Does the business section in your daily newspaper appear to be shrinking? It's not your imagination. Publications likeThe Boston Globeare shedding stock tables and creating condensed business and money sections. Meanwhile,The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Denver Post, The Orange County RegisterandWinston-Salem Journalhave nixed their business sections altogether.

Decreasing ad revenue--down 7.9 percent last year alone--has newspaper publishers revising their layouts. With stock tables going online, "you can end up with not enough to justify a six-page [business] section," says Rick Edmonds, media business analyst for The Poynter Institute, a resource for journalists. And disintegrating business sections could mean "fewer opportunities for businesses looking for [print coverage]," he says.
