(2004-03-11) Salon Presidential Coverage

SalonCom is pumping up its Washington DC coverage for the Presidential Election coverage. Sounds like a Hail Mary: Recent cash injections by investors will pay for the new bureau, Hurley said. Those investments include $200,000 from Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner and $600,000 from Adobe Systems co-chairman John Warnock. The money has helped Salon stave off more layoffs and focus on its coverage of the elections. The office will be led by Sidney Blumenthal.
