The Wall Street Journal will combine sections and trim the size of its print edition to cope with advertising declines, the company announced on Wednesday.
The new version of its print edition will start Nov. 14 and combine several sections and reduce the size of some coverage areas. Coverage of arts, culture and local news will take a hit butย Journal execs promised that business coverage will “remain largely the same.”
“All newspapers face structural challenges and we must move to create a print edition that can stand on a sound financial footing for the foreseeable future while our digital horizons continue to expand,” Editor Gerard Baker told staffers in an email on Wednesday.
