The Deal LLC commemorates a decade of looking at the world of finance, legal and corporate growth through the prism of the deal with a special 10th anniversary issue of The Deal magazine.

Founded on the philosophy that a deal economy exists, that it is sustained by a symbiotic, global community of diverse constituents with a common interest in all types of dealmaking, the company's original The Daily Deal newspaper launched a new style of financial journalism 10 years ago on September 15, 1999.

While the editorial mission has remained, the way the media company goes about creating, presenting and delivering content has changed. All the company's content from deal stories to analysis to commentary to its rich flow of data is consolidated into one subscription-based site, The Deal Pipeline.

The Deal magazine, now in its seventh year, is bimonthly, while TheDeal.com provides a discourse on the financial and business news cycle through blogs, videos and events. The newspaper, The Daily Deal, has morphed into a twice-daily digital financial newspaper available through The Deal Pipeline.

"We realize that what makes this all work is reporting and writing that is clear and compelling; we take a lot of pride in the credibility that our editorial operation has amassed since pioneering many aspects of deal coverage," said Kevin Worth, The Deal LLC's CEO and president.

"We've had a decade to study all this, a period tested by two devastating bubbles," writes founding editor-in-chief Robert Teitelman in this issue's introduction. "While deal volumes are down, the technology, the people and the infrastructure of dealmaking continue to function. More importantly, the pressure to do deals still persists. The fact is, the deal economy is not a one-dimensional phenomenon. It is an intricate system of feedback loops and counterbalances."
