New site for business newsies

Businessjournalism.org is a new site run by the American Press Institute. It’s opening piece is written by Bonita Burton of the Merc, a master of unboring business pages. She works across the room from me and often maintains her concentration despite the peals of laughter and other raucous behavior emanating from the biz desk, which is right next door. Sometimes I think they’re having too much fun over there, but if you had do read all those financial statements and blathering of tech CEOs, you’d be laughing too. Keeps the people with the straitjackets away.
