Washington Post signs syndication deal with TechCrunch

This is interesting. The Washington Post is going to run stories from popular technology blogging site TechCrunch (#1 in the world according to BloggerBoard) in its Technology section.

“TechCrunch will provide washingtonpost.com readers concentrated and continuously updated insights into cutting-edge start-ups, products and other online ventures,” the Washington Post says in a press release.

“This addition rounds out the Technology section, which already provides in-depth reporting on the latest news and trends affecting every aspect of the technology industry, from medical innovations to the evolutions in global media policy, personal technology to issues of security.”

It’s only a matter of time before content deals between established niche blogging sites and mainstream news providers become commonplace, surely.
