The Oakland Press business page and the stocks page have moved. They are now permanently anchored on the back of the A section of the paper.

There were several reasons for the move:

First. Readers did not like the fact that the Thursday business section was scattered through the paper. Also, the deadline for printing the Business section in the early press run meant that around once a month the stocks page had to be printed before the stocks arrived -- which meant they got skipped into the A section.

Second. Making the Opinion page a section front allows us to print it in color.

And third, this new arrangement makes the entire paper more flexible.
