Herb Greenberg, who just left MarketWatch to start an independent research firm, tells
Chris Roush:
* "When it comes to business journalism, I'm most disturbed about the demise of so many free-standing business sections. Getting out from behind sports was a sense of pride for those us in second-tier markets who lived through the transition."
* "Content is king, but it has sadly also become a commodity. Stories from any newspaper can wind up on any given portal, and readers increasingly don’t care where they find it, as long as it's there."
* "The trick for reporters in this slimmed-down indusry will be a willingness to work outside the traditional box. How far outside? I'm about to find out."
