Ben Smith is the editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed.
“I do think as a reporter in general, most of what we deal in is ephemera. And I love that. I mean that’s the business, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, I think that’s a plus and something that shapes how you succeed at the job because you realize that this thing you’re writing is about this moment and right now, and about its place in the conversation. It’s not some piece of art to hang on the wall.”
Thanks to MailChimp, Harry's, and Reveal, and Home Chef for sponsoring this week's episode.
