Both Slate and Salon are saturated with media-focused stories and tidbits; some, like Timothy Noah’s Chatterbox, exhibit a playfulness that is difficult to achieve in print. These sites are able to have a 3d aspect to them where you can travel back and forth for points of reference as you read. Another notable site is that of Jim Romenesko: MediaNews (formerly known as MediaGossip). The site takes advantage of one of the Web’s great strengths: External links.
