Washington Post Buys Slate
12/22/2004 01:16 AMThis had been rumored as a "done deal" for a few months already, but
it became official today that
the Washington Post was buying Slate, the online magazine
published for many years by Microsoft, but
put up
for sale earlier this year. Microsoft started Slate as an
experiment with the idea that they would be able to successfully
charge for content -- a plan that failed pretty rapidly. Meanwhile,
the Washington Post says there will be few changes, but they wanted to
do this to beef up their online content. Of course, the Post used to
run an online site called Newsbytes, which they killed off for no good
reason. You also have to wonder if the Post is going to shove Slate
behind an annoying registration wall, like they did with much of their
regular online content.

purchase online magazine Slate from Microsoft.
In a deal that had been
rumored since at least

an unspecified amount of money. The online magazine, which produces
original editorial content on popular topics such as politics, has
been controlled by the
software giant
since Slate first began publishing in 1996. According to Nielsen
Net/Ratings, the magazine had 6 million unique users in November.

The Washington Post gets it
The Washington Post gets it
06/09/2004 06:03 AMMuch of what civil libertarians feared about this administration turns
out to be have been true. As the Washington Post points out in today's
lead editorial, Legalizing Torture: This week, thanks again to an
independent press, we have begun to learn the deeply disturbing truth
about the legal opinions that the Pentagon and the Justice Department
seek to keep secret. According to copies leaked to several newspapers,
they lay out a shocking and immoral set of justifications for torture.
In a paper prepared last year under the direction of the Defense
Department's chief counsel, and first disclosed by the Wall Street
Journal, the president of the United States was declared empowered to
disregard U.S. and international law and order the torture of foreign
prisoners. Moreover, interrogators following the president's orders
were declared immune from punishment. Torture itself was narrowly
redefined, so that techniques that inflict pain and mental suffering
could be deemed legal. All this was done as a prelude to the
designation of 24 interrogation methods for foreign prisoners -- the
same techniques, now in use, that President Bush says are humane but
refuses to disclose. There is no justification, legal or moral, for
the judgments made by Mr. Bush's political appointees at the Justice
and Defense departments. Theirs is the logic of criminal regimes, of
dictatorships around the world that sanction torture on grounds of
"national security." For decades the U.S. government has waged
diplomatic campaigns against such outlaw governments -- from the
military juntas in Argentina and Chile to the current autocracies in
Islamic countries such as Algeria and Uzbekistan -- that claim torture
is justified when used to combat terrorism. The news that serving U.S.
officials have officially endorsed principles once advanced by Augusto
Pinochet brings shame on American democracy -- even if it is true, as
the administration maintains, that its theories have not been put into
practice. Even on paper, the administration's reasoning will provide a
ready excuse for dictators, especially those allied with the Bush
administration, to go on torturing and killing detainees. Perhaps the
president's lawyers have no interest in the global impact of their
policies -- but they should be concerned about the treatment of
American servicemen and civilians in foreign countries. Before the
Bush administration took office, the Army's interrogation procedures
-- which were unclassified -- established this simple and sensible
test: No technique should be used that, if used...

The Washington Post does RSS -- badly
04/16/2004 03:44 AMI grew up in Washington, DC, and even after 20 years on the West
Coast, I am used to reading the Washington Post daily, even as it has
slowly transformed itself from the anti-establishment hero of
Watergate in my youth to the neoconservative Republican paper of
today. I have displayed its headlines on my personal news page for
years, and use the headlines to pick which stories and columns to read
online every day. Today the format of the headlines on my site changed
drastically. The good news? The Washington Post finally started
offering official Washington Post RSS feeds. No longer do I have to
rely on Mike Krus' excellent NewsisFree services to get Washington
Post headlines. I can go directly to the horse's mouth. The bad news?
The RSS feeds are crippled. Each one has only a few headlines -- for
example the Top News feed and the Opinions feed each currently have
only 3 headlines. So now I only get some of the stories on the front
page, not all of them. And where are the columns by my regular
columnists, Colbert King, David Ignatius, and Richard Cohen (now that
he has regained his senses)? The headlines also have the inane text
(www.washingtonpost.com) at the end of each linked headline, as though
anybody clicking on the linked headline would be taken somewhere else.
It looks like something that would have been put on the web in 1995,
not 2004. This is a really foolish way for them to put content out to
people -- it is one of those cases where halfway is worse than none.
By having only some but not all of the top headlines, they make it
less likely, not more likely, that people outside Washington will rely
on Post for news. By putting the stupid (www.washingtonpost.com) in
every headline, instead of just the first or last one, they make it
less likely that someone will want to display their headlines on their
site. My guess, from years of reading the Post and reading about the
Post, is that it is the result of political infighting inside the Post
between people afraid of giving away their content, and people who see
the value of syndicating headlines as a way of increasing influence
and getting more people to read the Post online. It certainly looks
like a typical Washington political compromise, ugly and satisfying
neither opponents...

them? He mentions our partner Jiwire along with its free downloadable
