- News
When Alan Murray was a little kid he walked up and down his neighborhood in Pittsburgh asking for news updates from all the neighbors. He turned those assembled tidbits about visiting relatives, new pets and little league triumphs into a newsletter he hawked for $.50 cents apiece. That was just the start of a journalism career that would span multiple decades, culminating in his current role as CEO of Fortune Media. On this edition of Press Profiles we hear about that journey, plus we talk North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball, covering DC politics at a time when both sides didn’t hate each other, Jamie Dimon’s reaction to his Fortune Magazine Cover story, his CEO Daily Newsletter, his new book Tomorrow's Capitalist: My Search for the Soul of Business, and, of course, a whole lot more.
