Fewer days of printed classifieds

Well, it looks like this is a trend we’ll be seeing more and more of. Earlier this week, the Boston Globe stopped publishing classifieds sections on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Print focus will be on the Friday and weekend editions with their jobs, autos, and homes advertising sections. Thursday regional additions also may have some classified ads.

Just prior to the Globe’s decision, Gannett’s Cincinnati Enquirer stopped printing classifieds on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Expect to see more of this.
