TheStreet.com and Journal Register Co. strike content sharing agreement

March 28, 2011

Financial news site TheStreet.com and media company Journal Register Co. have entered into an agreement where the two will share content.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

TheStreet.com will provide national business, financial markets and personal finance content to the Journal Register’s newspapers and websites, while the Journal Register’s media properties will provide local business coverage to TheStreet.com and its websites.

The Journal Register’s papers include the New Haven (Conn.) Register, The Oakland (Mich.) Press, Delaware County Daily (Pa.) and Sunday Times, The Macomb (Mich.) Daily, the Lorain (Ohio) Daily Journal, and the Trentonian (N.J.).

The Journal Register emerged from bankruptcy court protection in 2009.

“This deal greatly expands our company’s overall offerings and, at the same time, enables each of our respective properties the ability to use their news teams more effectively with a particular focus on local news,” said Journal Register CEO John Paton in a statement. “We are extremely excited to be working with TheStreet in what promises to be a very well received, mutually beneficial venture.”
