Freakonomics blog to go indie and leave NYT

by  Tyler Cowen in

The scoop is here and for the pointer I thank Chris F. Masse.  Dubner emailed to Forbes:

Yes, we’re taking Freakonomics.com indie again because, even though the 3.5 years with NYT.com has been beyond great, a lot has changed in our universe since then – the film, a radio show, more books, etc. – and we’ve got a big appetite for uniting all these things, and a few more things, into one tight-knit little media channel known as Freakonomics.com. And we just couldn’t do that if the blog still lived at NYT.com. Paywall issue wasn’t a major consideration.

Will Paul Krugman end up behind a paywall?
