Why the new site? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because brainy feminists need more intelligent, independent media in their lives!,&#8221; says the B-Word team.  &#8220;And with this website, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re able to continue critiquing all that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrong (and the few things that are right!) in the world of pop culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As they describe it, thanks to the generous support of more than 400 individual donors B-Word and Bitch were able to expand upon their mission and take the first step in evolving into a multimedia organization that, like the magazine, is supported by readers.  The site will be noncommercial and offer content free of charge because &#8220;In accordance with its mission of critiquing advertising-driven models of media, B-Word seeks to prove that even in this world of hyper-commercialism and consumerism, a reader-supported publishing project is possible.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The website will feature blogs from founders and staff, an online version of the Love\/Shove column, and an organizational blog sharing the happenings at B-Word and Bitch. And due to popular demand, all content from sold-out back issues and will be posted, along with selected content from issues still available.<\/p>\n<p>Very, very cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This just in: B-Word, publishers of acclaimed independent magazine Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture, is pleased to announce the launch of its redesigned website, www.bitchmagazine.org.
