NYT launches small business blog

The New York Times has launched a blog about small business and entrepreneurship called “You’re the Boss.”

Small business editor Loren Feldman writes, “One of the guiding thoughts behind this blog is that unlike doctors and lawyers and a lot of other professionals, business owners rarely get any training. Nor do they have a lot of places to turn to compare notes, get advice, learn from one another’s mistakes, and keep up with the important changes coming out of Washington. We’re hoping this will be that kind of place.

“Here’s an example: In one of his first posts, Jay Goltz, our Thinking Entrepreneur, notes that there are some aspects to the stimulus package that actually will have the perverse effect of discouraging business owners from hiring employees. It’s the kind of observation that could come only from someone who’s there in the trenches, and that’s what this blog will be about.”
