LONDON, United Kingdom — "Magazines bring the world to you more than newspapers do and more than books do," Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair and creator of email newsletter Air Mail, told BoF Editor-in-Chief Imran Amed in the latest episode of the BoF Podcast. "They bring the cultural nuances of what's going on now to your door. They [tell] you about a world outside of the small town that you're living in."
Carter's journalism career spans over four decades, during which he was a staff writer at Time and Life, co-founded Spy magazine in 1986 and served as the editor of The New York Observer. His "third act," the digital weekly newsletter Air Mail, employs a team of remotely working individuals from across the globe.
Carter shared his thoughts on the state of the publishing industry in this time of upheaval.
