Listen "Episode 221: Adam Moss"
Episode Synopsis
Adam Moss is the editor of New York Magazine.
“I think [change] is good for journalism—it’s what journalism is about. You can’t write about something static. News is about what is new. So there’s plenty of new right now. I’m not saying it’s good for the citizenry or anything like that, but, yeah, for journalists it’s an extremely interesting time. There’s no denying that.”
