TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
Financial news site The Street.com will begin offering syndication of its news content at no cost to newspapers, editor Glenn Hall said Friday.
“All we seek in return is prominent attribution and links to our site from the byline at the top of our stories when they are published on a newspaper’s Web site or identification of our Web address in stories they publish in print,” said Hall to Talking Biz News.
With news organizations cutting back on resources, Hall said he believes that TheStreet.com can help with a free alternative for national business news, money-saving tips for consumers and articles that identify the best ways to invest and save.
“We think business news is too important to become a cost-cutting victim, and we want to help fill the void,” said Hall. “We see this as a way to help our colleagues in the newspaper industry and raise our own profile at the same time. It’s good for consumers, good for newspapers and good for us.”
The site, founded in November 1996, offers coverage in a variety of money topics, from analysis of the day’s news and the implications for investors to personal finance tips and advice.
Anyone who would like more information should contact Hall directly at glenn.hall@thestreet.com.
