In an agreement announced Wednesday between the New York Times Co. and breakingviews.com, the NYT will add a new column to their business section.
The new column will start Tuesday and be added to weekday and online versions of the NYT and The International Herald Tribune.

Breakingviews.com is an independent financial publication that provides news and information to investors and corporations. Currently, they provide commentary to newspapers around the globe including Le Monde, The Daily Telegraph of London and Business Times in Singapore. NYT will be the sole US newspaper to carry the column. The Wall Street Journal used to run the column.

Business editor for the NYT, Larry Ingrassia said, "The Breakingviews.com column is a perfect complement to both our leading news coverage of finance and business and our roster of award-winning columnists." He added, "This is the first of many changes we are introducing that will enhance the business section of nytimes.com."
