"Post Co. launches Web-magazine unit" by Reuters | June 5, 2008
NEW YORK - The Washington Post Co. yesterday said that it is launching a unit that will develop and manage a family of Web-based magazines.
The Slate Group plans to get into other new media ventures that it develops on its own or through acquisitions, the company said.
"The rationale is that you can build an audience beyond Slate's existing audience in certain vertical or demographic categories," said the group's editor in chief, Jacob Weisberg.
"I think it's sort of the logic by which Time magazine gave birth to Sports Illustrated and People, and it's the idea that you can incubate a magazine within another magazine," said Weisberg....
Weisberg declined to say how much money the Post is putting into the Slate Group for general operations and acquisitions. He also declined to say how many titles Slate plans to launch, but said, "We would consider a year in which we launched two magazines an extremely successful year."
Slate first was owned by Microsoft Corp., which launched the magazine with founding editor Michael Kinsley. Microsoft sold Slate to The Washington Post Co. in 2005. The company, like other US newspaper publishers, has been delving into online media opportunities as it seeks ways to offset a decline in advertising sales it has been experiencing at the print edition of its namesake paper."That's because ALL of AmeriKa's MSM "newspapers" are Zionist-controlled, AGENDA-PUSHING SHIT RAGS!!!

"The media which has printed these lies and presented the horrors of the day according to the angle desired by those who operate it have become their own worst enemy. They are daily providing the evidence that they lie. Truth tellers on the internet are turning over every rock they tried to bury the truth beneath."
