| Hit the ground running in 2017 with insights from Code Media and media industry experts Hi, Happy New Year! Kara Swisher, Walt Mossberg and I have good news to kick off 2017: We're bringing two of the most important people in the media industry to Code Media in February. You need to join us there. If you want to know how one of the world's leading newspapers has transformed itself into one of the world's leading digital publishers, ask Marty Baron. After running The Boston Globe for more than a decade (see the movie "Spotlight"), he became The Washington Post's top editor in 2013 — the same year Jeff Bezos bought it — and has spent the last three years making the storied paper more popular online, without losing any of its clout. Right, Donald Trump? We're also adding Stacey Snider, incoming CEO at 20th Century Fox, to our lineup. She'll tell us what it's like to run one of the world's biggest movie studios in an era defined by enormous blockbuster bets and increasingly fickle audiences. The longtime Hollywood veteran — formerly of DreamWorks and Universal — takes formal control of the Murdoch family's studio this summer; this will be one of her first public appearances since she got the new gig. Baron and Snider join an amazing lineup of media and tech leaders who have signed on for Recode's signature onstage interviews: Apple media boss Eddy Cue
Amazon video VP Roy Price Starz CEO Chris Albrecht Tasty general manager Ashley McCollum National Geographic Channel CEO Courteney Monroe AwesomenessTV CEO Brian Robbins Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson Google revenue chief Philipp Schindler Propagate Content CEO Ben Silverman Stratechery analyst Ben Thompson
And offstage, you'll have plenty of time to link up with the smart, savvy crowd that joins us every year at Code Media — the people who can help you move your company and your career forward.
Great, right? We agree, which is why we'll be at The Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California, on February 13 and 14. Join us!
See you soon.
