Hi Folks - today’s guest was Alex Wright, a writer and author who was a technology designer in a previous life, having held tech leadership roles at IBM, the New York Times, Etsy, Instagram, Google, and Hearst.
He joins me today to talk about his brand-new book Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper, one that provides a sweeping history of the rough-and-tumble nature of American media and journalism in the early republic.
