New York Times Company Buys The Wirecutter

As The New York Times Company transforms for the digital age, it has moved more into lifestyle journalism, with online products like Cooking, Watching and Well. Now, it has made another bet on so-called service journalism, with the acquisition of the product recommendation site The Wirecutter and its sibling, The Sweethome.

It's funny actually coz all the big dogs are either starting such sites from scratch or acquiring the already established sites , no big deal to me tbh coz I don't compete with them in most of my niches but pretty sure thesweethome is a nightmare for anyone on the home/appliances niche

that is good news though nothing is getting totally wiped because in journalism always some space for any new players

I saw this news. We wrote about this for one of my clients who owns a Google News-approved website.
Anyhow, there's always an equal opportunity for everyone who wants to venture online.
