 Discovery Discovers HowStuffWorks 
By: Mathew Ingram 2007-10-15 The Wall Street Journal got the scoop on Discovery Communications latest move into new media (see, old media can still break stories): the TV network is buying HowStuffWorks for $250-million. According to the Journal story: Were way behind in new media and digital, says Chief Executive David Zaslav, who has shaken up Discovery since taking over in January. I dont think we win just by building vertically. Although it was a much smaller deal, Discovery acquired Treehugger " a popular environmental awareness site founded by a Canadian " in August for $10-million. As alarm:clock notes, Discovery was an early leader in using the Web, like a Wikipedia for basic-level science. Discovery is making a smart acquisition, I think.
