"You don’t need a print magazine to get information. But my big bet, the fundamental conviction around New York magazine, is that what a magazine gives you, whether it’s print or digital, can be exactly what everybody wants. A magazine’s sensibility, its attitude, its commitment to actually entertaining you, is not an extinct concept." Our editor-in-chief David Haskell spoke to Interview Magazine about publishing, politics, and what he is most disgusted by in New York right now.   https://lnkd.in/eH9mDSK7

This year’s edition of New York’s annual “Power Issue,” reported by features writer Charlotte Klein, is an examination of the media industry in a time of enormous financial turmoil and record public distrust. For the package, Klein interviews 57 of the most powerful people in the media for dozens of hours of candid conversations about the industry’s past, present, and future. Klein writes in her introduction, “Everyone we spoke with agreed that the business of media keeps changing and not, for the most part, for the better. Some are trying to keep legacy institutions viable; some are trying to build new ones; some are sole proprietors of their own brands—which may or may not be the future for all. Given this business undergirds the actual journalism people receive, we wanted to understand the biggest concerns and threats to it at this moment and what an actual path forward might look like.” Read more about the issue here: https://lnkd.in/eyHRgvpA
