Joe Pompeo of The Business Insider reports Monday evening that Forbes.com will relaunch its blog network later this week, and that all of the reporters at the business magazine will have a blog.
Pompeo writes, “We also hear that every reporter will now be required to have his or her own blog, and that most are starting from scratch. It’s a big departure from the online practices of former Forbes.com CEO Jim Spanfeller, who was decidedly anti-blog. (He resigned last July to start his own company.)
“But it certainly seems to jive with the mindset of Forbes’ new editorial director, Lewis D’Vorkin, who founded the blogging startup True/Slant (now owned by Forbes) and wants to bring on ‘hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of freelance contributors.’
“We have a call out to the editor overseeing the relaunch and will update with more details if we hear back.”
