The WSJ's new blog

The WSJ Online has a new Law Blog which will “scour the universe for compelling stories in two related areas: business and law, and the business of law.”

It could be a new development in the evolving relationship between blogs and the MSM I discuss in Law and Economics of Blogging (which, by the way, is in the process of evolving along with the topic it’s covering). I've described blogs as parasitic on the MSM.  Now the MSM may return the favor.  In the end, we may end up with something like a cooperative enterprise between the professionals and the amateurs.
