On March 10, AIR MAIL Co-Editor Alessandra Stanley and Deputy Editor Nathan King sat down with Ken Auletta—the New Yorker writer and author of several books including, most recently, Hollywood Ending, on Harvey Weinstein’s rise and fall—and Shawn McCreesh, a writer for New York magazine and former clerk to The New York Times’s Maureen Dowd, to discuss their “Adventures and Misadventures in Journalism.” The conversation ranged from the speakers’ morning news digest to the advantages and disadvantages of big media companies, to where to find New York City’s best chicken parm.
Stanley also spoke with the author and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air creator Andy Borowitz in a conversation ranging from daily news (in which Borowitz referred to MSNBC as “Fox for vegans”) to Youtube makeup tutorials to his new book, Profiles in Ignorance: How America’s Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber.
