Could anyone provide more information about this publication and why the price is so steep?
- SirHound 7y agoI think this is geared towards business and rich valley people. The few with deep pockets over a wider audience.
- snowwrestler 7y agoThe core of the pitch for the "The Information" is that they do reporting that moves markets; i.e. investors should subscribe to get access to information they can use to make decisions ahead of their competitors. A lot of their reporting, like this article, tries to look down the road on new products and markets. The founder Jessica Lessin spent years at WSJ (as Jessica Vascellaro), but got into trouble for getting too close to her sources; for example traveling to private parties with them. The Information takes more of a utilitarian, service model to their work, where ethical concerns about source relationships are less important than the quality of the information you provide to subscribers (hence the name).
- anomaloustho 7y agoThanks for that explanation, that makes more sense.
