Norris to blog for Economix

Floyd Norris, the chief financial correspondent at The New York Times, is now going to be a featured blogger for its Economix blog.

An item from the Economix editors states, “He was also among the first regular bloggers at The Times, with a blog called Notions on High and Low Finance. Now he will join forces with Economix, offering frequent posts on economic and financial trends, ideas and follies. (Economix also now has a complete archive of posts from his previous blog, back to its inception in 2006.)

“Mr. Norris has been a financial columnist for The Times since 1988, with the exception of one year that he spent writing editorials for the paper. He was previously the stock market columnist for Barron’s, the national financial weekly.

“He has a master’s degree in business administration from Columbia University, where he was a Walter Bagehot Fellow in Economics and Business Journalism, and he has received three lifetime achievement awards in financial journalism.

“His posts will reward your continued visits to Economix.”
