Slate launches new online video magazine

Welcome to Slate V, our new online video magazine. - By Andy Bowers and Bill Smee - Slate Magazine: "After 11 years, Slate has decided to become a parent. So, light up a cigar and say hello to Slate V.

That's 'V' as in video, not the Roman numeral for '5.' Today, we're launching a new video magazine that will deliver original features, compelling documentary segments, and buzz-worthy video clips culled from the far reaches of the Web. On the site you'll find familiar Slate franchises such as 'Explainer,' 'Dear Prudence,' 'Damned Spot,' and 'Ad Report Card'—now in living color!—alongside newly created segments about politics, culture, business, technology, and more."
