My Chin Wag with Breaker Media about the VF cover that got away, the globe-spanning "Epstein class," and the royal's real estate roulette.
I sat down this week with media buccaneer Lachlan Cartwright, founder of Breaker Media and a Vanity Fair contributing editor. Why did I have to kill so many stories that Harvey Weinstein commissioned for Talk magazine? Can tech billionaires be the saviors of journalism? What’s my take on Meghan Markle’s strange career moves? What do people get wrong about Anna Wintour? Why do I find writing Fresh Hell so heavenly? I answered them all!
Reading Fresh Hell makes me feel like a real industry insider. PS I enjoyed the restaurant setting, it makes a nice change from the usual desk and microphone with bookshelves in the background. However, the restaurant owner might have asked the waitstaff to do something quiet, like fold napkins. I kept waiting for a noisy tray of plates and cutlery to crash at Tina's feet.
You keep telling me I have to pay. Well last week I did pay with my credit card. Emilyrutgersfuller
