FiveThirtyEight to Partner with New York Times

A big congrats to Nate Silver; this is the journalism equivalent of being bought by Google or Microsoft.

If this means FiveThirtyEight goes behind a NYT paywall in the next six months or so, it may not be great for anyone other than the principals of 538.

I think this is a real win for the readers of both too.<p>538 has some of the best analysis and NYT has some of the best info graphics. This could be a beautiful and informative acquisition.

Way to go, Nate Silver. I hope you stick with it; I've consistently appreciated your analysis of politics.

Headline: New York Times manages to slow slide into irrelevance.<p>News you can use!
