Slate debuts a video magazine

The folks at Slate have launched SlateV.com, a companion video site to the online magazine. The site combines original features hosted by Slate writers with some user-created components. Multiple Emmy winner Bill Smee, formerly of Discovery Times Channel, and Andy Bowers, long-time NPR correspondent and creator of Slate’s video programs are running the site. Like many video sites these days, it’s all powered by Brightcove.
