Weblogs and Networking: M & A Law Prof Moves to NYTimes

By Bill Gratsch

In yet another example of the networking power of weblogs, Wayne State Law School Professor Steven Davidoff, who posts at M & A Law Prof Blog, noted this week (M&A Law Prof to the New York Times DealBook) that he is taking his blogging efforts to a larger stage, the New York Times DealBook:

I'm very pleased to announce that I will now be blogging full time with the New York Times DealBook as the Deal Professor.  Don't worry, it will be the same blog covering the same topics with the same length of posts and legal analysis, just with the expanded resources of those great N.Y. Times deal reporters, including Andrew Ross Sorkin and Michael de la Merced.

I suppose it is possible that Professor Davidoff could have landed the same deal without the connections he made and audience he developed via his M & A Law Prof Blog; but I wonder how possible and in what timeframe? 

Professor Davidoff himself notes:

Heartfelt thanks must go to Paul Caron, Joe Hodnicki and Peter Henning for making this all possible.  I will continue to recommend and refer to this terrific law professor network Paul and Joe have put together.  They are to be commended for bringing together such a high quality group of law professors covering such a diverse array of topics. 

Great stuff and congratulations to Professor Davidoff, who deserves the soon-to-be increased recognition. 

Weblogs and the power of networking; They go hand in hand.
