New York Times Acquires A Blog
August 9, 2007 by Pablo Palatnik
And who said blogs are just a phase? This is just proof that the blogosphere is here to stay. The New York Times has just acquired Freakonomics.com. Freakonomics is a blog which began as a continuation to the book, which was released in 2005.
A blog purchased by a big media player is a great sign for the blogosphere and will spark attention from other media sources as well.

Yes- big news. The New York Times amongst other media outlets are planning to purchase more blogs through 2007 and into 2008. Blogs are a big source for news for many online. Good choice by NYT.
