A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, a prisoner work-release program.

"Korrektiv's pithy and bold approach separates it from the blogospheric herd, and the combination of poetry, theology and opinion makes it unique. You might not always agree with Korrektiv, but you can't ignore it." -- The Times

"I'm a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps stationed in Mosel, Iraq. Between missions I don't have a lot of time to get caught up on the news. Someone from my group turned me on to Korrektiv, and I have to tell you that it's become my one stop shop for news and opinion from back home. Thanks Korrektiv."

Unlike many commentary/literary blog sites such as Godsbody, NRO and Quotidian Quintilian, Korrektiv is a news/literary blog site which practices real journalism. We know what it's like to work a source or track a lead. We know what it feels like to drink scalding coffee from a papercup in a freezing warehouse during a police stakeout. We've covered natural disasters such as the New Orleans flood, and we know what it means to meet a deadline. So, the next time you NEED to know, type in www.korrektiv.org. We're live, we're local and we're the only website that cares about you.

    That is Socratic ignorance, and that is what the philosophy of our times requires as a corrective.... It is quite literally true that the law is: increasing profundity is understanding more and more that one cannot understand. And there once again comes in "being like a child," but raised to the second power. -- Søren Kierkegaard
