A new gun on the daily funds and ETFs beat

Ira shared this MFWire story with me this morning and suggested I might pass word along. Barron's hired a new guy to succeed Brendan Conway at their funds blog.
This WSJ Alum Will Focus On Funds, and ETFs

Reported by Neil Anderson, Managing Editor

Fundsters, there's a new voice at Barron's you should be paying attention to.

MFWire has learned that Chris Dieterich recently joined the publication as a staff writer and blogger focused on funds, especially ETFs. He now leads both the realtime "Focus on Funds" blog and the weekly "ETF Focus" column.

...

Dieterich ... he hails from Regis University and the University of Missouri-Columbia. He joined Barron's sibling Dow Jones Newswires four years ago, before moving to the Wall Street Journal [where he] served as a markets reporter, focusing on stocks and ETFs.
I welcome him to the neighborhood and wish him well. I worry, a bit, about the term "realtime" (sic) in the story since it suggests that he, like so many others, is locked into the high output/low reflection model where the need for "six new posts by the market's close" drives the job.

David
