Washington - Slate Group, the online publishing unit of The Washington Post that produces such Web publications as Slate Magazine and TheRoot.com, said on Tuesday that it has launched a new online women's magazine called Double X. The company is targeting the kind of sophisticated audience that it says most other women's magazines don't reach, offering "smart" articles on politics, culture, family, fashion and other topics. The magazine is a spin-off of the XX Factor blog that has appeared on Slate since 2007.
