A Glossier Time For Magazines
Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and the Daily Beast, founder of Women in the World, host of the new podcast 'TBD with Tina Brown' and the author of The Vanity Fair Diaries: Power, Wealth, Celebrity, and Dreams: My Years at the Magazine that Defined a Decade (Picador, 2018), talks about her time leading Vanity Fair through the 1980s and early '90s, when magazines had money to spare and plenty of people with money to cover.

I'm feeling a real way listening to Tina Brown on w @BrianLehrer talking about glossy magazines in the 80s and the onset of a particular (white) social era and celebrity culture.
