Washington Post begins running VentureBeat articles

The Washington Post has struck an agreement with California-based tech news site VentureBeat to begin running some of its content.

Dylan Tweney of VentureBeat writes, “Starting today, VentureBeat stories will start appearing on the Washington Post’s technology page. Stories will be selected by the Post’s editorial staff from among the many articles published each day on VentureBeat.

“VentureBeat is the latest partner to join The Post’s technology and business section — a list that includes Slate and Bloomberg Business News. VentureBeat will contribute additional perspective to The Post, which concentrates on the intersection of technology, policy and business.

“We’re proud of this partnership and see it as a validation of the commitment to aggressive reporting and responsible journalism that is VentureBeat’s hallmark. Rather than just republishing press releases with a thin layer of snarky humor, we’re looking to uncover the real stories behind the news.

“VentureBeat’s goal, as always, is to bring you valuable intelligence about what’s going on in technology and business. We talk to sources, check facts and provide context. It’s a formula that’s working very well for us, as our traffic is surging and an increasing number of industry leaders are turning to us for the real story.”
