Washington Post Co. Decides Slate All Grown Up, Needs Own Ad-Sales Force

Online magazine Slate has been around for more than 15 years. In that time, it has had two owners (Microsoft previously, and the Washington Post Co. currently), been the recipient of a fair share of journalism awards, and developed a passionate following for its unique and oft-counterintuitive viewpoints on politics, culture and business. The one thing Slate's never had? Its own sales and marketing team. Until now.
