Marketwatch.com media columnist Jon Friedman writes Wednesday about Dealbreaker.com editor Bess Levin, who has gained a wide following.
Friedman writes, “Levin has a knack for writing irreverent, witty and insightful stuff. But what makes proudly hard-bitten journalists look at her in something approaching awe is her precocious age. Levin is not too far removed from attending Amherst College or, even high school in suburban New Jersey.
“Much of Levin’s success results from the states of the journalism and Wall Street landscapes. The rise of the Internet has attracted a large number of young readers who would sooner dig a ditch than buy a newspaper or a magazine at a newsstand.
“This situation has forced the nation’s once-stodgy media companies to dig deep to tape young, adventurous writers, who are at home on the Web and can communicate with their peers.”
