Freakonomics Blog Purchased By NYT

The newest blogger at the New York Times is Freakonomics author Stephen J. Dubner. The paper worked out a deal (terms undisclosed, of course) to have Dubner migrate his blog from Freakonomics.com to its new (corporate) home. Dubner and co-author Steven D. Levitt insisted the Times keep the blog as free content and not TimesSelect-ize it during negotiations… But, hey. Too late!.

Notes:

1. This is the Timesfirst purchase of a previously existing blog. Sign of the future?
2.
