About the Lens
Cinema St. Louis' The Lens is a multi-contributor blog aimed primarily - but by no means exclusively - at local cinephiles. The Lens will have a specifically St. Louis perspective when relevant - and will preview Cinema St. Louis events - but because film encompasses the world, the blog will offer material on every aspect of movie culture, with no ties to a particular place. Lens contributors - critics, academics, journalists, novelists, poets, essayists and filmmakers - will write, at any length and in any form, about all film-related topics, allowing for a wide array of approaches: simple reviews, stray thoughts, essays, reported articles, cartoons, photos, even audio clips and videos.
For a more complete introduction to The Lens, read the inaugural post by Cliff Froehlich.

Giving Back
The Beacon wants to help you share the news about good deeds St. Louisans are doing. See our spotlight on those who are giving back.
The Beacon will expand staff and local news coverage with a $90,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation – one of four grants announced Wed., Dec. 17, to local online non-profit news sites. The grants are intended to help fill the void created when traditional media cut staff.
