The Wall Street Journal announced Tuesday the launch of MoneyBeat, a new blog dedicated to global finance, markets, and mergers and acquisitions.
Drawing from the Journal’s global pool of reporting, MoneyBeat explains, critiques and analyzes trends and news stories in finance, markets and deal-making.
The new blog brings together six of the Journal’s most widely read blogs, including MarketBeat, The Source, Overheard and all the Deal Journals across the globe, into a single, integrated hub of news and analysis.
The blog’s tone, content and writing style is designed to complement the Journal’s outstanding financial coverage by delving deeper into the world of markets and finance and bringing out the personalities behind the news, from deal-makers to hedge fund giants and private-equity titans.
“MoneyBeat is a one-stop shop for everybody interested in finance and markets, no matter where they are around the world,” said Gerard Baker, managing editor of The Journal, in a statement. “With its vast network of journalists and editors, the Journal is uniquely positioned to deliver lively, round-the-clock news and analysis from the U.S., Asia and Europe. MoneyBeat is an indispensable companion for anybody who cares about markets and finance.”
MoneyBeat is overseen by former Deal Journal and MarketBeat editor Stephen Grocer.
