Brooke Kroeger, "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism" (Knopf, 2023)
Q: Did you have an audience in mind that you wanted to reach with your story?
In my mind's eye is women like me who've been through this and young women coming up, because I think this book is full of subliminal career advice.
Brooke Kroeger, "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism" (Knopf, 2023)
Q: So how did women change American journalism?
In various ways, they introduce diversity which changes things because another set of eyes is on things. We see this in various ways.
Brooke Kroeger, "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism" (Knopf, 2023)
Q: So how did you just...
I was asked to write this book. So it was not my idea, it came from the editor, a gentleman, older than I am, if you can imagine.
Jeff Jarvis, "Magazine" (Bloomsbury, 2023)
Q: If they've missed this then, what do you think is the future of magazines?
I think the future of print magazines is pretty much doomed, but there is still a cultural need for a new type of magazine that curates quality content.
Jeff Jarvis, "Magazine" (Bloomsbury, 2023)
Q: What are the things to really focus on? What do you think was or is the biggest challenge that the internet presents to magazines?
The biggest challenge is content abundance; magazines are no longer the primary source for curated content.
