DealBook Grows Up

Among the winners of the Wall Street chaos are the spunky, literate editors at the New York Times DealBook. Begun as a daily e-mail by the “other” Sorkin in 2001, DealBook has blossomed into a full-on blog page with writers covering the intricacies and personalities of the deal world, along with the deals themselves and the financial services firms behind them.

Historically, actual coverage of the financial services industry in New York’s daily papers has been surprisingly light, considering that the city is the world’s financial center. DealBook has changed all of that, and one can only assume that the Dealbook offices have been buzzing non-stop over the last few weeks as the team works to get out the coverage.

Give it a read, if you haven’t already.
