Salon is an American political progressive/liberal online news and opinion blog, launched by David Talbot in 1995. It prints articles on current affairs, culture, and U.S. politics. Salon is mostly frequented by women as it is a news site for women. Salon is also a membership site. Salon is now run by John Wright.

Salon is a unique combination of public sphere with an establishment perspective, reflecting the changing mindset of women within the public sphere. As such, Salon offers both enlightenment and practical advice to help guide young women in making informed decisions. The modern salon reflects a unique blend of past and present, offering a cross pollination of the conventional wisdom of old-fashioned salon and cutting edge knowledge of modern salon etiquette and sophistication. Salon is a reflection of women’s perspective as it caters to both men and women, offering a space where all could openly express themselves.

Salon is part of a wider transformation taking place in U.S. The new generations are slowly beginning to experience the same enlightenment as their parents and grandparents. At the same time, the public sphere itself is witnessing a sea change as more salons cater to the needs of the ‘guests’ rather than concentrating on its clientele. This new perspective in salon etiquette is starting to shape the way salons conduct business, leaving a wider space for people to access the public sphere and shape their views on social issues.
