TheStreet.com strikes content deal with Freedom

TheStreet.com has struck a deal with Freedom Communications, which owns newspapers and television stations across the country, to provide its personal finance and investing content to Freedom’s media operations.

Under the agreement, TheStreet will provide the national business, financial markets and personal finance coverage at Freedom Communications’ major online news sites and print publications, which includes the Orange County Register. The arrangement begins with the Register.

Glen Hall, the editor in chief at TheStreet.com, was once the business editor at the Register.

TheStreet network publishes more than 3,000 articles and more than 500 videos each month that will be available for Freedom Communications to integrate into its individual news sites.

“This alliance will create a powerful combination of independent, original reporting that will broaden the online and print content offered through Freedom Communications’ channels and expand the reach of TheStreet into new markets, creating value for both our businesses,” said TheStreet CEO Daryl Otte in a statement.
