Reason's Katherine Mangu-Ward on the Future of the Magazine
The new new editor in chief talks new content, defending the plastic bag, and why she is a manic optimist.
Reason's new editor in chief Katherine Mangu-Ward sat down with former Reason editor and author Virginia Postrel (now a columnist at Bloomberg View) at Reason's Los Angeles headquarters to talk about the future of the magazine as it nears its 50th anniversary.
"Nick Gillespie—and to some extent Matt Welch—their version of Reason was sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Mine is more like sex, drugs, and robots," says Mangu-Ward.
You may know Mangu-Ward's work already as Reason's managing editor or from her insightful cover stories covering everything from defending plastic bags to why your vote doesn't count.
