Fred Vogelstein wanted to be a Moscow bureau chief. He did manage to get to Berlin as a student in the months after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, but he still hasn't been to Moscow. Instead, Fred became one of the most influential technology reporters of his generation, with stints at the Wall Street Journal, Wired, The Information, US News, and Fortune. Today he and fellow tech legend Oh Malik are the Co-Founders and Editors of Crazy Stupid Tech, the newsletter on innovation that's quickly building a big following.
Fred joined us recently to discuss the true definition of innovation, his laments about the death of the traditional newsroom, and why he won't be covering the hot topic of tech and politics. For this episode of Pressing Matters from Big Valley Marketing, the podcast that brings you conversations with the top media influencers in B2B Tech. I'm Dave Reddy, Head of Big Valley Marketing's Media and Influencers Practice, and I'm your host. Through research and good old -fashioned relationship building, we've identified B2B Tech's top 200 media and influencers, including Fred. Here's our chat with Fred. Enjoy.
