Web Site of the Week: Slate.com
Posted by: Christine Bulson
Slate.com is a daily magazine (web only) which began in 1996 and is now owned by The Washington Post. Considered a liberal publication it includes short articles in politics, art, business and science. It also is the online site for Doonesbury. A recent article on a comparison of two cookbooks, The Pioneer Woman and Ad Hoc, was entertaining and funny. Two columnists illustrate the broad spectrum of Slate – Eliot Spitzer writing on ”Keeping the Fed Honest” and Dear Prudence answering a question from a college student who discovered her mother was a porn star. This is an enjoyable site which may explain why readership of Time and Newsweek is down significantly.
