Top marks for SP Times online business section

This may be a hollow victory, given that the St. Petersburg Times has recently merged the newspaper's print business section with the metro section, dropped print stock listings and lost one business reporter. But the Web site 24/7 Wall Street has named the Times online business section among the best in the country, giving it an A-grade (among the top 25 newspapers, only the New York Times received a similar designation; the Houston Chronicle got at A-minus)   

Here's what they say: "The financial section of the online edition of the St. Petersburg Times is remarkably well-done. The graphics and lay-out are as good as USA Today’s. The interactive features on local companies are particularly well done. The site also has a very fine photo section, something lacking at most other online newspaper money sites. Contacting writers and posting comments are easy and intuitive. Grade A."

Good going, guys....
