Huffington Post gets Goodman

Peter Goodman, national economics correspondent for the New York Times, has decided to leave the paper to become business and technology editor at the Huffington Post. Goodman told Howard Kurtz that he wanted the freedom to advocate solutions to the nation's economic woes rather than simply report on them. His reporting, by the way, has been consistently excellent throughout the Great Recession and gives me a reason to actually read the website.
