Murdoch Wins Tentative Agreement With Dow Jones. Biz Bloggers Rejoice

From our perspective as a business site, this is great news. The more that old media consolidates the better it is for sites within the TechMeme fold as well as sites that cover business outside tech. Why? Readers are going to seek out alternative viewpoints to Murdochs, its that simple. They might get it from BusinessWeek, Forbes Fortune, the Financial Times or the NY Times Business pages, but these publications will continue to consolidate and atrophy and as they readers will turn to the business blogosphere.
