CBSMarketWatch.com now has a full-time editorial staff of 82 plus about 20 outside contributors. MarketWatch.com, of course, recently announced a joint venture with the Financial Times of London, called FTMarketWatch.com[1.].

It will go live in the second quarter of this year with some 35 to 40 journalists on staff and Calandra in charge as editor in chief.
