                             SALON MEDIA GROUP, INC.
                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


     1. Price and Number of Shares Subject to Warrant. FOR VALUE RECEIVED and
subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, The Hambrecht 1980
Revocable Trust, (the "Purchaser"), is entitled to purchase from Salon Media
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at any time after 5:00 p.m.
California time on June 12, 2003 and before the termination of this Warrant
pursuant to Section 12 below, at a price per share equal to $0.0575, as adjusted
in accordance with Section 3 below (the "Warrant Price"), that number of shares
indicated in Section 2 below of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Common Stock of the Company (which Common Stock currently trades on the OTC), as
adjusted pursuant to Section 3 (the "Warrant Shares").

     2. Number of Shares of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant Shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable is equal to 150,000.

     3. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Shares. The number of shares of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the exercise price
thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, and the Company agrees
to provide notice upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

          (a) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time the Company proposes
to (i) consolidate with or merge with or sell or convey all or substantially all
of its assets to any other corporation or entity, or (ii) distribute stock,
securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock in exchange for their
shares of the Company's Common Stock, then the Company shall give the holder of
this Warrant thirty (30) days advance notice of the effective date of such
transaction and to the extent the Warrant has not been exercised in full by the
effective date of such transaction, this Warrant shall terminate. The foregoing
notwithstanding, a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
such transaction hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the
surviving entity, shall not result in termination of this Warrant;

<PAGE>

instead this Warrant shall be exchanged for a warrant of the surviving
corporation that shall entitle the holder hereof to acquire upon the exercise
thereof the number of shares of stock or other property to which the holder of
the number of shares of the Warrant Shares which are subject to this Warrant on
the effective date of the merger would have been entitled to receive for such
securities under the terms of the merger.

          (b) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by
subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change
any of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the
same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant
shall thereafter entitle its holder to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect
to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such subdivision. combination, reclassification or other
change. If shares of the class of the Company's stock for which this Warrant is
being exercised are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of
shares of stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced in the case
of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the case of combination
of shares, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of shares of such
class of stock to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total
number of shares of such class of stock outstanding immediately prior to such
event.

          (c) Adjustment for Dividends in Stock. In case at any time or from
time to time on or after the date hereof the holders of the shares of the
Company's capital stock of the same class and series as the Warrant Shares (or
any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise
of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for
the determination of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock of the Company by
way of dividend, then and in each case, the holder of this Warrant shall, upon
the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares
of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional
consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock of the
Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been
the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date hereof and had
thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of
such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock receivable
by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called
for during such period by paragraph (c) of this Section 3.

          (d) Adjustment of Warrant Price.

               (i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 3(d), the
following definitions shall apply:

                    (A) "OPTIONS" shall mean rights, options or warrants to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible
Securities (as defined below).

                    (B) "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean any evidences of
indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock.

<PAGE>

                    (C) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean all
shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) below, deemed
to be issued) by the Company after the Warrant Issue Date (as defined below),
other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

                    (I) upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or
Series B Preferred Stock;

                    (II) to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants
to, the Company pursuant to a warrant, stock grant, option agreement or plan,
purchase plan or other employee stock incentive program or agreement approved by
the Board of Directors, up to a maximum number of shares of Common Stock
(assuming full conversion of any such convertible securities into Common Stock)
equal to 25% of the then outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock,
Series A Preferred Stock (as converted) and Series B Preferred Stock (as
converted);

                    (III) in connection with the acquisition by the Company of
another business entity or majority ownership thereof approved by the Board of
Directors;

                    (IV) to lease companies, real estate lessors, banks or
financial institutions, whether shares or warrants, in connection with any lease
or debt financing transaction approved by the Board of Directors;

                    (V) upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of the date of
the Warrant Issue Date (as defined hereafter);

                    (VI) in connection with a transaction described in Section
3(d)(iv);

                    (VII) in connection with a strategic investment and/or
acquisition of technology or intellectual property approved by the Board of
Directors;

                    (VIII) by way of dividend or other distribution on shares of
Common Stock excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock
by the foregoing clauses (1) through (7).

                    (D) "WARRANT ISSUE DATE" shall mean the date on which the
Warrant was first issued by the Company.

               (ii) No Adjustment of Warrant Price. No adjustment in the Warrant
Price shall be made with respect to the issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock unless the consideration per share for an Additional Share of Common Stock
issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Warrant Price in
effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

               (iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the
event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Warrant Issue Date
shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for
the determination of holders

<PAGE>

of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible
Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument
relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a
subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or
exchange of the Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be Additional Shares
of Common Stock issued as of the time of the issuance of such Option or
Convertible Security or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of
the close of business on such record date:

                    (A) except as provided in Section 3(d)(iii)(B) and
3(d)(iii)(C) below, no further adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be made
upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities;

                    (B) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the
consideration payable to the Company, or change in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (other
than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), a
Warrant Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence
of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based
thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be
recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such
Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible
Securities;

                    (C) upon the expiration of any such Options or Convertible
Securities, the Warrant Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed
using such Options or Convertible Securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the
issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the
exercise of such Options or Convertible Securities; and

                    (D) no readjustment pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) clauses
(B) and (C) above shall have the effect of increasing the Warrant Price to an
amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Warrant Price on the original
adjustment date or (2) the Warrant Price that would have resulted from any
issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment
date and such readjustment date.


               (iv) Adjustment of Warrant Price Upon Issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock Below Purchase Price. In the event this Corporation shall
issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii)), after the Warrant
Issue Date, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue (such
issuance price being referred to herein as the "DILUTION PRICE"), then and in
each such event the Warrant Price shall automatically be adjusted as set forth
in this Section 3(d)(iv), unless otherwise provided in this Section 3(d)(i).

                    (A) Adjustment Formula. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted by Section 3(d)(iv), the new Warrant Price shall be determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of

<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued
would purchase at such Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issues plus the number of such
additional shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purposes of this paragraph,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to include the
Common Stock issuable on conversion of all other outstanding Preferred Stock,
upon conversion or exercise of any other outstanding Convertible Securities and
upon exercise of all vested Options (and assuming conversion of Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of Options).

               (v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section
3(d), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:


                    (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

                    (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the
aggregate amount of cash received by the Company before deducting any reasonable
discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the
Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and
sale thereof;

                    (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be
computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined by
Board in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment; and

                    (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company
for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so
received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in
good faith by the Board.

                    (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration
per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed
to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(d), relating to Options and
Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

                    (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to
the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

<PAGE>

                    (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.

     4.No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant, by itself, as distinguished from any
shares purchased hereunder, shall not entitle its holder to any of the rights of
a stockholder of the Company.

     5.Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or part by
the holder, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the termination of
this Warrant, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with the Notice of
Exercise attached hereto as Attachment 1, duly completed and executed at the
principal office of the Company, accompanied by payment in full of the Warrant
Price in cash or by check with respect to the shares of Warrant Shares being
purchased. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided
above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercises shall be treated for all purposes as holder of such shares
of record as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable
after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons
entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of
full shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.

     6.Conversion. In lieu of exercising this Warrant or any portion hereof by
paying cash, the holder hereof shall have the right to convert this Warrant or
any portion hereof and receive Warrant Shares by executing and delivering to the
Company at its principal office the written notice of conversion in the form
attached hereto as Attachment 2, respectively, specifying the portion of the
Warrant to be converted, and accompanied by this Warrant. The number of shares
of Warrant Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be computed using the
following formula:

     X = (P)(Y)(A-B)/A

     Where     X =       the number of shares of Warrant Shares to be issued to
                         the holder for the portion of the Warrant being
                         converted.

               P =       the portion in the form of a fraction of the Warrant
                         being converted.

               Y =       the total number of shares of Warrant Shares issuable
                         upon exercise of the Warrant in full.

               A =       the fair market value of one share of Warrant Shares
                         which shall mean the last reported sale price per share
                         of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
                         Market (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on
                         the Nasdaq National Market, then such last reported
                         sale price on a national securities exchange or other
                         nationally recognized exchange or trading system) on
                         the day upon which the holder delivered its notice of

<PAGE>

                         conversion to the Company, or if no such price is
                         reported on such day, such price on the next preceding
                         business day for which such price is reported.

               B =       the Warrant Price on the day upon which the holder
                         delivered its notice of conversion to the Company.

Any portion of this Warrant that is converted shall be immediately canceled.

     7.Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price or number or type
of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall deliver to the record holder of this Warrant a
certificate of an officer or other authorized person of the Company setting
forth the nature of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.

     8.Sale or Transfer of Warrant. The Purchaser shall not sell or transfer
this Warrant other than to an affiliate of Purchaser. For the purposes of this
Agreement, an "Affiliate" shall mean any partner, limited partner or member of
Purchaser or any person or entity that directly or indirectly through one or
more intermediaries controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
Purchaser.

     9. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Company, its successors and
assigns. This Warrant cannot be assigned by Purchaser, except to an Affiliate,
without the express written consent of the Company.

Company will at all times during the term of the Warrant have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exercise rights represented by the Warrant, free from preemptive rights. In the

exercise of the rights under this Warrant may bear one or all of the following
