Washington - Air America Media, a national progressive talk radio network, has named blogger Ana Marie Cox as its first DC-based national correspondent. She will contribute text, video and audio content to airamerica.com, as well as to a weekly program to air on Air America's radio network. Cox was the founding editor of the political blog, Wonkette, before becoming the Washington editor of Time.com in 2006.

New York - Gawker Media, the blog network that includes Gawker, Defamer, Gizmodo, Wonkette and Jezebel, announced on Monday that is selling its Idolator, Gridskipper and Wonkette sites. "To be blunt: they each had their editorial successes; but someone else will have better luck selling the advertising than we did," Gawker Media founder and publisher Nick Denton said in a post on Gawker.com.
