Walt Mossberg isn’t just a titan of journalism, he’s every bit as iconic and transformative as many of the products he's reviewed. From 1991 to 2013, he was the personal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Alongside Kara Swisher, Walt also hosted the All Things D conference, which brought some of the biggest names in tech to the stage, separately and together. In 2014, Walt and Kara went off on their own and launched Recode, which they sold to Vox Media in 2015. Walt retired in July of 2017 and, since then, Walt has been devoting his time to causes like the News Literacy Project. Then, and now, what’s impressed me most about Walt, what made me want to be more like Walt, is how he bridged the gap between technology and people. How he deliberately avoided jargon, or buzzwords, or speaking over anyone’s head but also never talked down to anyone either. Never made them feel excluded. On the contrary. In an industry now over-swarming with geeks and tech-heads, Walt kept things relatable too everyone. And I just had to ask him how that all came about.
