At Vox, I felt pressured to be involved in everything, but now I focus on what I believe I'm best at, which has improved my hit rate.

I value institutions and believe we need more of them, as they play a crucial role in journalism.

Part of journalism is integrating voices and thoughts that are not your own; it's about talking to people.

I want to see more traditional media figures transitioning to YouTube, as it can provide a platform for diverse voices and creativity, rather than just relying on established television networks.

I didn't trust my editorial voice at the beginning of my career, which made it hard for others to understand what I wanted from them.

When we pivoted to an open platform, we focused on enabling anyone to broadcast live, which clarified our problem-solving approach.

When I acquired The Onion, it was about saving the company from a failing business model and focusing on creating content that resonates with readers.

I believe that the integration of granular reporting with broader generalizations makes for effective journalism.

After launching Justin.tv, we quickly realized that while we gained initial excitement and media coverage, we struggled with viewer retention and decided to pivot to a tech company that opened the platform for everyone instead of trying to create entertainment ourselves.
