Christopher Hitchens[edit]

Should be moved to notable "past" contributors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.165.82 (talk) 07:56, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No reference to "the Fray"[edit]

The Fray comments section available at the end of most articles provided an early and very (for it's time) technically sophisticated forum for commentary by the readership. many news websites have this now but I believe Slate was an early adopter. The Fray was a point of difference with other upmarket magazines moving online. It would be a useful addition if some Slate afficionado could add material to the main page about this. They might even win a star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.209.142 (talk) 13:10, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Left wing[edit]

Is Slate a left wing magazine? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.79.100.32 (talk) 10:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notable contributors and their departments[edit]

I'd like to recommend adding Rebecca Schuman to this list. In accordance with the WikiProject Magazines' writing guide, these sections (if they exist at all) should include only those contributors whose "involvement with the magazine . . . has generated coverage in independent reliable sources." Schuman's work has been covered on NPR and in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Minneapolis Star Tribune, and many other sources. Any thoughts? DinzdalePR (talk) 20:10, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with DinzdalePR that Schuman should get a page here. Srm16 (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree because although Schuman may have a few credentials, she still needs a few more to get her own page. Bmurph331 (talk) 15:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Panoply?[edit]

The article on Panoply Media, of which Slate is a parent company, is being considered for deletion. Your fellow editors are seeking more opinions on this discussion. Morganfitzp (talk) 03:43, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
