Shownotes
In an era of fake news and widespread distrust in the media, standard-bearer media organizations like The Wall Street Journal remain a beacon for hard-hitting reporting on what’s going on in finance as well as the world at large. On today’s show, Jeff is talking to Gregory Zuckerman, Special Writer to The Wall Street Journal who focuses on money and investing.
Listen in as Gregory explains his process for finding interesting stories, why successful companies hire people who show potential as opposed to just hiring for open positions, and why some media organizations are booming despite open hostilities.
