Hello and welcome to the Stack.
This week I had the pleasure to interview Amar Latour, CEO of Down Jones and publisher of the Wall Street Journal.
Plus Joshua Glass, founder of Family Style.
Enjoy the show.
From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.
30 minutes of print industry analysis.
And I am Fernando Gusto Pacheco.
We start the show with Omar Latour, CEO of Don Jones and publisher of the Wall Street Journal.
We had an in depth conversation about the group's future plans, the efforts to secure the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and much more.
And how the paper manages to stay above the political polarization found in many newsrooms.
Here's Omar with more.
I am a journalist at heart and you never quite lose that instinct and that impulse.
But I started as a news assistant for the Wall Street Journal prior to that intern, and that was very early in my career, I was based in many different countries as a foreign correspondent and was in Brussels, in Stockholm, right here in London, a reporter as well.
In New York.
I was a real scoop hound.
I like breaking stories, so I still feel that drive to get the story these days.
I always feel it's a good sign when you start as an intern and I'll look at you, you know.
So you started as an intern.
Exactly.
Yeah.
