Re:  Employment Agreement

Dear Norman:

     On behalf of Salon Media Group, Inc. (the "Company"), I am pleased to
confirm our verbal offer of employment to you for the position of Executive Vice
President - Chief Financial Officer, reporting to Christopher Neimeth, Chief
Executive Officer. This letter agreement (this "Agreement") sets out the terms
of your employment with the Company, which will start on December 31, 2007. (the
"Start Date").

     You will be paid a starting base salary of $8,333.33 semi-monthly ($200,000
on an annualized basis), less applicable tax and other withholdings in
accordance with the Company's normal payroll procedure. You will also be
eligible to participate in various Company fringe benefit plans, including group
health insurance, 401(k), holidays and vacation programs (4 weeks per annum),
and any other benefits generally provided from time to time by the Company to
its executive officers. You will also be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of your employment, upon
presentation of appropriate documentation, in accordance with the Company's
standard procedures. Any such business expense reimbursement you are entitled to
receive shall (i) be paid no later than the last day of the year following the
year in which the expense was incurred, (ii) not affect any other expenses that
are eligible for reimbursement in any year and (iii) not be subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

     You will be entitled to an annual bonus plan for each fiscal year beginning
with Fiscal Year 2009 (April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009), to be targeted
between 50% and 100% of your then base salary, based on goals to be mutually
agreed upon within thirty days of the beginning of each fiscal year.

     Subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, as of the date
hereof, you will be granted an option to purchase an amount of shares of Company
common stock equal to two percent (2.0%) of the fully diluted shares of the
Company under the Company's 2004 Stock Plan at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of that stock on your option grant date. Your option will vest
over a period of four years from the date of grant (25% one year after the date
of grant and 1/48 per month thereafter), and will be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Company's 2004 Stock Plan and standard form of stock option
agreement, which you will be required to sign as a condition of receiving the
option.

     Additionally, subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors,
on January 1, 2008, you will be granted options to purchase a number of common
shares equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the then fully-diluted shares
outstanding under the Company's 2004 Stock Plan at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of that stock on your option grant date. These options
will vest in their entirety upon the achievement by the Company of Positive
Operating Cash Flow for any trailing four fiscal quarters. For purposes of this
agreement, Positive Operating Cash Flow is defined as earnings before interest
and taxes,

<PAGE>

plus all non-cash charges including but not limited to depreciation and
amortization, share-based compensation, and amortization of prepaid advertising
rights. Fully-diluted shares includes all shares outstanding as of the date(s)
of grant after giving effect to the conversion and or exercise of all issued or
required to be issued shares of preferred stock, options, warrants and other
equity derivative instruments.

     The vesting of all shares subject to options described above will be
subject to your continued service to the Company during the time periods
specified, except as noted below.

     Your employment with the Company is "at will"; it is for no specified term,
and may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or without cause
or advance notice.

     In the event of a termination of your employment by the Company for a
reason other than 1) "Cause" (as defined below), 2) your death or 3) your
"Disability" (as defined below), or a termination of your employment by you for
a "Good Reason" (as defined below), provided that you execute and deliver a full
general release of all known and unknown claims that you may then have against
the Company arising out of or in any way related to your employment or
termination of employment with the Company and such general release has become
effective in accordance with its terms prior to the 30th day following the date
of your termination of employment, you will be entitled to receive the
following: (i) a "Severance Payment" in an amount equal to six (6) months of
your then current Base Salary, less applicable withholding, payable, except as
otherwise provided below, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll cycle
and in equal installments over a six month period (the "Severance Period")
commencing on the first payroll date at least 30 days following the date of such
termination of employment; (ii) if you are covered under the Company's group
health plan as of the date of termination of your employment and as a result of
the termination of employment you suffer a loss of benefits under such group
health plan, and you timely elect to continue group health benefits under
applicable law (COBRA), the Company will reimburse you for any COBRA premiums
you pay for COBRA coverage for the period from the date of termination of
employment until the earlier of (A) the date on which you first become covered
under another employer's group health plan, or (B) the date that is six (6)
months after the date of termination of your employment (the "COBRA Payments");
(iii) payment on the first payroll date at least 30 days after your termination
of employment of an amount equal to the bonus that you would have earned for the
then current fiscal year under your then applicable bonus plan if the Company's
then current fiscal year were deemed ended (and you were deemed employed on but
not after) the date of such termination and (iv) if such a termination of
employment occurs before six months after the Start Date, 12.5% of the
restricted shares and shares subject to then outstanding options held by you
shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the date of termination of your
employment; (v) if such a termination of employment occurs at least six months

outstanding options held by you shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the
date of termination of your employment, (vii) payment of any unpaid salary
earned through your termination date, (viii)reimbursement of any business
expenses incurred through your termination date, and (ix) payment of any accrued
and unused vacation.

Code (the "Section 409A Regulations") shall be paid unless and until you have
incurred a "separation from service" within the meaning of the Section 409A

<PAGE>

Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that you are a "specified employee"
within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of your
separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation
which is payable on account of your separation from service shall paid to you
before the date (the "Delayed Payment Date") which is first day of the seventh
month after the date of your separation from service or, if earlier, the date of
your death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would,

under this Agreement;

provided the Company written notice within 60 days of the first occurrence of a
condition described above of your view that a "Good Reason" has occurred and
your intention to resign for Good Reason, (ii) the Company does not within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice cure the adverse effect of the

shall be fully vested and exercisable.

securities; or

     (b) The sale or disposition of all or substantially all of Company's assets

combined voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

     (d) The dissolution or liquidation of Company.

     The Company and you hereby agree that all controversies, claims or disputes

required by law, the costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the party who
does not prevail in the dispute or as otherwise determined by the arbitrator(s)
in their sole discretion. In agreeing to this provision, you and the Company
hereby waive your respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried
before a judge or jury.

within three days after the Start Date.

     This Agreement and the non-disclosure and stock option agreements referred
to above constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding
the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company, and they supersede
all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the
Company. The provisions of this Agreement regarding "at will" employment may
only be modified by a document signed by you and an authorized representative of
the Company.

                              SEPARATION AGREEMENT
                              --------------------
                          AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
                          -----------------------------

     1. Conrad Lowry ("Employee") is concluding his employment relationship with
Salon Media Group, Inc. (the "Company"). It is the Company's desire to provide
Employee with certain severance benefits that he would not otherwise be entitled
to receive upon his separation and to resolve any claims that Employee has or
may have against the Company. Accordingly, Employee and the Company agree as set
forth below (the "Agreement"). The benefits provided under this Agreement do not
reflect a permanent policy or practice and will only be made available to
Employee if he signs and returns (and does not revoke) this Agreement by January
30, 2008. This Agreement will become effective on the eighth day after it is
signed by Employee (the "Effective Date"), provided that Employee has not
revoked this Agreement by written notice to Chris Neimeth prior to that date.

     2. In exchange for and conditioned upon fulfillment of Employee's promises
herein, the Company will provide Employee with the following severance benefits:

          (a) Employee's last day of employment with the Company will be
     February 8, 2008 (the "Separation Date"), on which date Employee will be
     paid for all unused vacation accrued through the Separation Date. The
     period between January 7, 2008 and the Separation Date will be referred to
     as the "Transition Period." During the Transition Period, Employee will
     continue to receive his regular pay and benefits and vest in any applicable
     stock options through the Separation Date. Employee will be entitled to
     take one week of sick leave for a medical procedure during the Transition
     Period.

          (b) During the Transition Period, Employee shall cooperate in the
     orderly transition of his duties and perform such other duties as requested
     by the Company's CEO to attain minimal business disruption in the
     transition. If requested, Employee will resign as an officer (and all other
     positions that he holds) of the Company. If Employee satisfactorily
     cooperates in such transition during the Transition Period, then the
     Company will provide Employee with the following additional benefits:

               (i) the Company will pay Employee an amount equivalent to two
          months of Employee's salary at Employee's current base salary rate,
          less applicable withholding, in accordance with the Company's standard
          payroll timing and practices.

               (ii) Employee's group health insurance coverage under the
          Company's health plan will continue through February 28, 2008.
          Thereafter Employee may elect to purchase continued group health

<PAGE>

          insurance coverage at his own expense in accordance with federal and
          state law ("COBRA"). If Employee is qualified for and timely elects
          continued COBRA coverage, then the Company will pay the premium to
          continue Employee's COBRA coverage for five months. Any additional
          coverage will be at Employee's own expense.

               (iii) The Company will pay directly, or reimburse employee upon
          presentation of appropriate supporting documentation, for outplacement
          services of Employee's choice during the Transition Period and for a
          period of two months after the Separation Date, up to a maximum of
          $5,000 total. Employee may elect to receive a cash payment of $5,000
          (less any applicable withholding) in lieu of the reimbursement for
          outplacement services.

               (iv) That portion of any previously granted option(s) to purchase
          shares of Company common stock in which Employee would have vested,
          had he remained employed by the Company through the quarter ending
          March 31, 2008, will become immediately vested and exercisable. In
          addition, Employee's deadline to exercise all vested options he holds
          will be extended to the date one year after the Separation Date. Apart
          from the exceptions outlined herein, all options held by Employee will
          remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's stock
          option plan and grant documents.

               (v) In the event that the Company's Form 10-Q is timely filed
          with the SEC on or before February 14, 2008 with Employee's
          assistance, then Employee will receive a bonus of $15,000, less
          applicable withholding, within two weeks after such timely filing.

Employee should direct any potential employers to contact the Company's Human
Resources Manager for employment verification information. In the event that the
Company receives any inquiry about Employee from a prospective employer or
employment agency, the Company shall provide only Employee's title(s) and dates
of employment with the Company. Company will endeavor to obtain a mutually
acceptable letter of recommendation for Employee from Elizabeth Hambrecht by the
Separation Date.

     3. With the exception of Employee's final paycheck (including accrued,
unused vacation), which shall be paid on the Separation Date, Employee affirms
that he has been paid for all, will not make a claim for, and will not receive
any further, salary, commissions, bonuses or other wages, including any accrued,
unused vacation, that he earned during his employment with the Company. Employee
agrees to submit any outstanding Company business expenses for reimbursement
within 10 days of the Effective Date, and such expenses will be reimbursed
pursuant to standard Company policy. Employee understands and acknowledges that
he will not be entitled to any payments or benefits from the Company other than
those expressly set forth above in paragraph 2 or required by law.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

     4. Except with respect to the obligations herein, in exchange for the
benefits described above, Employee and his successors and assigns irrevocably
and absolutely release and discharge the Company and its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, shareholders, investors, directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys, insurers, legal predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively,
the "Released Parties") of and from any and all claims, actions and causes of
action, whether now known or unknown, which Employee now has, or at any other
time had, or shall or may have against the Released Parties relating to or
arising out of the transactions and occurrences between them to date, including,
but not limited to, their employment relationship, the termination of their
employment relationship, the Employee's purchase or right to purchase shares of
the Company's stock, if any, or any other matter, cause, fact, thing, act or
omission whatsoever occurring or existing at any time up to and including the
date of execution of this Agreement by Employee. This release includes, but is
not limited to, any tort, contract, common law, statutory or constitutional
claims, including but not limited to claims of breach of contract, wrongful
termination, retaliation, negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, unfair business
practices, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, infliction of emotional
distress, invasion of privacy, personal injury, attorneys' fees, costs or
penalties, or national origin, race, age, sex, sexual orientation, religious
creed, disability, or other discrimination, harassment retaliation or other
prohibited conduct under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination In
Employment Act of 1967 (including the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act),
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, the California Labor Code, the California Unfair Practices Act, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, state and federal securities laws and rules
promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable laws, all as they have been or
may be amended. However, this release is not intended to bar any claims that, by
statute, may not be waived. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Employee
agrees not to file any claim, action or demand based on any of the matters
released above.

     5. Employee acknowledges that he has read section 1542 of the Civil Code of
the State of California, which states in full:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the
          creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her
          favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
          by him or her must have materially affected his or her
          settlement with the debtor.

Employee waives any rights that he has or may have under section 1542 to the
full extent that he may lawfully waive such rights pertaining to this general
release of claims, and affirms that he is releasing all known and unknown claims
that he has or may have against the Released Parties. Employee acknowledges that
he may discover facts or law different from, or in addition to, the facts or law
that he now knows or believes to be true with respect to the claims released in
this Agreement and agrees, nonetheless, that this

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Agreement and the release contained in it shall be and remain effective in all
respects notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of
them.

     6. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall continue to be bound by
and comply with the terms of any non-disclosure and proprietary rights and
assignment agreements between the Company and Employee. As a condition of
receiving the benefits under this Agreement, Employee agrees to return all
Company property by the Separation Date, including, but not limited to, all
equipment, documents and computer files related to the Company's business.
Employee will cooperate with any reasonable requests for the transition of his
former responsibilities and information to designated Company personnel.

     7. Employee agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement, as well as the
discussions that led up to it, strictly confidential and shall not directly or
indirectly disclose any of the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than his
immediate family or counsel, except as such disclosure may be required for
accounting, financial or tax reporting purposes or as otherwise may be required
by law.

     8. Employee further agrees that he will not, at any time in the future,
make any critical or disparaging statements about the Company, its services, its
directors or its employees unless such statements are made truthfully in
response to a subpoena or other legal process. The Company agrees that it will
not, through its officers or directors, make any critical or disparaging
statements about Employee unless such statements are truthful and are required
for a legitimate business purposes, including a response to a subpoena or other
legal process.

     9. Employee agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to the Company should
his knowledge or testimony be deemed useful by the Company in pursuing or
defending any pending or future legal claims involving the Company or any of its
officers, director or affiliated entities and any third party. Examples of such
cooperation may include speaking with individuals at the Company or its outside
counsel, assisting in locating documents or other evidence and providing
truthful testimony. If Employee is requested in writing by the Company to
provide such assistance after the conclusion of the period in which Employee is
receiving severance payments under Paragraph 2(b)(i) above, then Employee shall
be reimbursed for his time at $200 per hour, unless the assistance is reasonably
required to assist with a claim: (a) in which Employee is a party and/or (b)
that involves alleged misconduct by Employee. Employee shall provide an invoice
with proper supporting documentation for any expenses and time spent and the
Company will reimburse him within 30 days of such submission.

     10. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Older
Workers' Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. section 626(f).

          10.1 Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) Employee has read and
understands the terms of this Agreement; (b) Employee has been advised in
writing to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement; (c)
Employee has obtained and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

considered such legal counsel as Employee deems necessary; (d) Employee has been
given twenty-one (21) days to consider whether or not to enter into this
Agreement (although Employee may elect not to use the full 21-day period at
Employee's option); and (e) by signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges
that Employee does so freely, knowingly, and voluntarily.

          10.2 This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until
the eighth day after Employee signs this Agreement. Employee may revoke
Employee's acceptance of this Agreement within seven (7) days after the date
Employee signs it. Employee's revocation must be in writing and received by
Chris Neimeth by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the seventh day in order to be
effective. If Employee does not revoke acceptance within the seven (7) day
period, Employee's acceptance of this Agreement shall become binding and
enforceable on the eighth day. If Employee revokes his acceptance of this
agreement, then he will not be entitled to the benefits described in paragraph
2.

          10.3 This Agreement does not waive or release any rights or claims
that Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that arise
after the execution of this Agreement. In addition, this Agreement does not
prohibit Employee from challenging the validity of this Agreement's waiver and
release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as
amended.

     11. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California applicable to instruments, persons and
transactions that have legal contacts and relationships solely within the state
of California.

     12. If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason found by an
arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
then such invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed amended, limited,
