LA Times biz columnist will now blog

According to this item from LA Observed, Michael Hiltzik, who writes a twice-weekly column for the Los Angeles Times’ business section, has started blogging about business. The blog is called “Golden State,” which is also the name of his column, and its slogan is “Business, economics and more with a California edge.”

You can read some of Hiltzik’s past columns here. He also wrote a critically acclaimed book about Xerox Corp.’s research lab.

I’ll be interested to see what Hiltzik blogs about that is different from his column, and how prominent the blog will be promoted on the Web site and in the pages of the paper. But this is the second business news blog I have run across in the past two weeks, with the first being the one at the Greensboro News & Record called Biz Buzz.

  • Hi Chris,
    Welcome to the blogoshere.
    Biz-related blogs have been running for a while at the San Jose Mercury News and Boston Globe. The Oregonian is also in the mix. We've done it on a spot basis, such as coverage of E3 and CTIA, at The Seattle Times and have gotten great response from readers.
    Love your site,
    Becky
