Virginia Heffernan, a former Slate and New York Times TV critic, has a brand new blog on web-video over at NYT’s site. The plan, apparently, is to deal with everything from downloadable network TV shows to crazy amateur Macbook lightsaber fight videos on YouTube (you really want to click that link). There’s not much content yet, but this seems like an excellent idea—taking a smart old-media critic and letting her fly at an upstart, undeveloped, mass-art medium that still has the possibility to turn into just about anything.
