poll Last week, Mediaite asked you who was the top online editor of 2009. As we'd mentioned at the time, some sites didn't quite fit into the bloggy rubric. Which is why in this round, we're recognizing sites which are too vast and ambitious in scope to describe in terms of the work of just one editor. You know the drill, loyal, smart, and attractive readers: below is a list of our nominees for the top site of 2009, including The Business Insider, Ars Technica, Politico, and Talking Points Memo. Vote for your favorite, or leave any deserving candidates you think we left out in the comments: (more...)

Several months back, I attended an all-female panel assembled to discuss why women don't typically participate on media panels. I noted in my review that "the goal was to demonstrate to future conference planners and columnists that women offer a unique voice and belong on the panelist circuit." As these issues take great deals of time to resolve, it's difficult to believe that any real progress has been many in the two months since this initiative was made. What is clear now, though, is that the world is starting to notice the missing women. (more...)

Mediaite was born at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, July 6th. Then the server crashed. Welcome to the fun-filled world of a start-up!

Though it's certainly forced us to stretch in ways we weren't expecting, we've enjoyed the past month — enough to look forward to sticking around for a while (sorry, Brain Trust). (more...)
