Meet Slate's New Culture Blog
Posted Monday, June 01, 2009 8:23 AM | By
Julia Turner
Welcome to Brow Beat, a new blog where
Slate
's editors and critics will be writing about movies, music, television, books, advertising, fashion, and anything else you might call culture, whether highbrow or low. Our critics will be able to write more frequently about happenings on their beats—this week, for example, movie critic Dana Stevens will explain her alternate reading of the ending of
Drag Me to Hell
, our in-house 3-D guru Daniel Engber will consider Pixar's use of the technology in
Up
, and we'll have a mini-Ad Report Card from ad critic Seth Stevenson. Brow Beat will also give our writers a chance to explore other interests: Keep an eye peeled for music critic Jody Rosen's examination of British chef Jamie Oliver's bizarre new magazine,
Jamie!
, and expect Troy Patterson and Stephen Metcalf to bring their omnivorous critical appetites, already on display in
Slate
's Audio Book Club and Culture Gabfest podcasts, to the blog as well. We'll also have regular features tracking the day's Google trends, industry news, and more.
