What is all this? (back to top)
The New York Times has called FootnoteTV "smartly written and scrupulously sourced," and Yahoo! says that its "intelligent and lucid footnotes elevate TV from mere boob tube to a source of thoughtful discussion." The Houston Chronicle says the articles are "beautifully written" and USA Today.com said that FootnoteTV could be the next "online phenomenon."
I don't disagree, but I think of FootnoteTV as a fun way of organizing the news in a way that is only possible on the Internet and that is perfect for today's modern audiences.
This is a news site unlike any other, because it is designed for the Internet and is not simply the on-line version of a different news medium and is not simply aggregating stories from around the web. Remember when people threw around buzzwords like "synergy" and "convergence" back in the boom days of the Internet? This is the real thing here.

Who are you? (back to top)
My name is Stephen Lee and I've been some kind of a journalist for more than a decade, including a stint as a metro reporter for the Chicago Tribune. I have also written editorials for the Detroit Free Press, reported for the Dallas Morning News and interned at ABC News for its law and justice group. I was a news editor at the Yale Daily News (1993-94) and helped some friends restart the Columbia University Law School News (1998-2000).
I am also a member of the bar of the State of New York, or, as my fiancee likes to put it, a "sworn defender of the Constitution." I graduated from Columbia Law School in 2000 and now work as a litigator at a law firm in New York City.
I got the idea for this site on Christmas Day 2000 and spent more than a year developing it before launching in February 2001. And I love this work.
