We are excited to bring you season two of Media Unscripted. To kick things off in style, we have an interview with Emma Tucker, the newly appointed editor of the Wall Street Journal – and the first female to ever lead this prestigious title.
This isn't the first time Tucker has made journalistic history, as she was named the Sunday Times first female editor in January 2020. During her two years there, The Times and Sunday Times digital subscriptions rose from 320,000 to 450,000 at the end of September 2020, seeing pre-tax profits triple.
Emma is passionate about constructive journalism, which contextualises news rather than just giving the facts. It’s this innovative storytelling which she says is key to the success of the Sunday Times paywall.
In our interview, Emma also talks about the demands and challenges of taking on such a huge title. She says a lot of it is knowing how to delegate, but you also have to be brave about the choices you make in terms of content and sometimes going against the grain. Which Emma certainly isn’t afraid to do.
Emma is also open and honest, which makes for a great interview. We really hope you enjoy this podcast and are inspired by her passion for good journalism.
It’s exciting to see what she will bring to her new role as editor of the wall street journal. And we hope to get her back on again in the near future to talk about her experiences. Watch this space…
