• retheauditors: #GAL09 @kevinokeefe "Go where the people are. Don't build a shrine to yourself. " Well, I like my blog, but that's why I'm on Twitter.

National Law Journal merges with Legal Times

jordan_law21 National Law Journal and Legal Times to merge: http://tr.im/hqni.

• edadams: RT @ABAJournal: NLJ and Legal Times to Merge http://tinyurl.com/cfjwdf (expand) [So much for a local legal weekly in the nation's capital.]

• vivianhood: Times they are a-changin: Seattle P-I is going, WaPo Biz slims and Legal Times merges with NLJ. Who is next? Will your daily paper survive?

• bobambrogi: Reactions to NLJ/Legal Times merger? A stronger national paper with weaker DC coverage or vice versa or neither?

• wpollak: @bobambrogi NLJ/Legal Times merger will result in a stronger national paper/website with much stronger DC coverage. Win-win for all readers.

• brucecarton: @wpollak Can you elaborate (in 140 characters)--how will NLJ/Legal Times merger result in a stronger DC coverage? DC readers want to know!

• wpollak: @brucecarton NLJ's DC coverage added to LT's makes for a terrific package. Plus DC readers benefit from nat'l reporting on firms and news.

• brucecarton: @wpollak Thanks, I look forward to reading the new publication. Still sad to see the WaPo Biz section and Legal Times vanish in same week.

• bobambrogi: @wpollak I can see that the combination could be even stronger than the sum of its parts, particularly as a national paper.
