Starting today, Silicon Valley’s newspaper, the Mercury, News has kicked off a weekly column in its print edition featuring VentureBeat’s most compelling content.
VentureBeat is delighted with the deal. It extends our distribution considerably, to an additional 230,000 paid daily subscribers of the Mercury News.
For those who have asked about our relationship with the Mercury News, here’s where it stands: VentureBeat is entirely independent of the Merc. However, the Merc pays to syndicate VentureBeat’s content, has been running it online, and sporadically has placed VentureBeat news items in the print edition. Today’s column extends this relationship, simply bringing VentureBeat content into the print edition in a more organized way.
Thanks for reading.

Good to hear that Mercury News still loves you, Matt!
Being a “legacy” SiliconBeat reader, I lost your feed late last week and now I’m subscribed directly VentureBeat… Perhaps, you could also influence Merc to continue to forward siliconbeat visitors and feeds to venturebeat for another year - or at least a link on the SiliconBeat web page :) -
