“The opportunity exciting to me was to build a different type of publication, relevant and smart for both people who work in the industry but also people outside the industry who want to know more about it,” said Jessica Lessin when she founded The Information in 2013. “It’s for the audience who aren’t just scanning the headlines, but those who come read a publication on a deeper level.” Lessin is editor in chief of the digital-only, subscription-based news site, known for its in-depth reporting on Silicon Valley and the technology industry. She covered the same terrain for eight years at the Wall Street Journal before switching gears to become a “reportrepreneur”; she was part of a WSJ team that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for a 2011 series on digital privacy.
