On with Kara Swisher · The Media CEOs Betting Big on Journalism’s Future: Jim Bankoff & Meredith Kopit Levien · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

And they saw us as a nice, I won't speak for them, but I think...

an intersection of a lot of things they care about, quality journalism through what we're doing at New York Magazine and what we're doing at Vox and what we're doing at the Vox Media Podcast Network.

But they also see us, the intersection with culture and the other properties they're trying to make flourish, including the ones I just mentioned.

I've seen high net worth people own things.

I've seen corporations and public companies own things.

I've seen

Employee-led collectives own things, and all of those things could be amazing and prosper, as The New York Times has, or as someone other than us, The Atlantic, is prospering.

I've seen other structures fail, and it doesn't really matter so much anymore.

what the structure is, whether it's PE backed, whether it's venture backed, whether it is a nonprofit, whether it's a high net worth individual, what matters is the values of that institution, the protections of that, the structures of those institutions and the commitment to that.

And it can happen, bad things, toxic things can happen in any one of those ownership structures if they're not managed by great people who know what they're doing, who are committed to principles.

You got first pick.

Go ahead.

So I think as a steward, those two companies, other companies, you covered this for decades.

You know that media needs to evolve and media needs to change.

When Meredith came in and Mark, you all changed.

the New York Times for the better.

There were hard decisions and unpopular decisions that had to be made.

There were people who were hired.

There were people who were fired.

There were people who chose to lead.
