he is the cofounder of facebook and the publisher of "the new republic." plans to try transformant to a vertically integrated platform. they were followed by dozens of staffers and correspondence to left. the event points to a broader shift of a new era of of technology and business. nasser:what i want to understand here is your side of what happened. there was a great institution. it may become, it may be on its way to be a greater institution or something else. tell me what happened. and why. chris: so when i bought "the new republic" i bought it because i believe in the qualities. journalism that goes past the headlines and gets details. that has been a sustaining value of the institution and the reason i showed up in the first place three years ago. over the course of the past three years one of the key learnings i have had is that the media environment and landscape is shifting. it is a key way that we sit down and leaned back, and the reach that we can have is broader than it has ever been before. we have 3 million readers online each month who are e

if you talk to him about where he wants to take the new republic from a voice perspective, it is to beuch more deeply engaged with the new generation of readers and writers who are a little bit more diverse, a little bit less -- you're able to think more creatively about domestic policy, who are able to write in a way that uses the first person. charlie: both in terms of content and in terms of distribution. anytime there is an editorial change, it is always different. charlie: it is more pervasive than just the change of an editor. chris: i think the audience that gabriel is looking to appeal to is a broader audience than "the new republic" has built into in the past. i think over the past few decades, we have been satisfied to speak to a relatively small elite group of thinkers. it has done that at times extremely well and other times it has been weaker. there is an opportunity and responsibility to expand that audience and to stay true to those values in 2015. a great example this particular issue is a piece by one of our senior editors, who is one who stayed through the transition,

the very first words of the very first issue were the new republic frankly is an experiment. at is how we are working right now. in new york and dc it feels like i it's on a tough, it's bracing and scary and sometimes we are conducting this experiment for a reason and we believe in great journalism. essentially journalism is the pursuit of insight of new knowledge of someone has to say it, truth, and the truth is the recent revolution in the ways of human interaction and in fact the pace has changed and will likely increase in five years time and this speech may be as quaint as others. but if we stick to our values and our passions and discover and inform and delight, i'm pretty sure that we can prevent some good acts of journalism. >> thank you. i appreciate your support. there is another person that i would like to recognize tonight. bob meyers.

the very first words in our very first issue were " the new republic frankly is an experiment." d that is how we are working right now. in new york and d.c., it feels like an experiment. it is fun, it is tough, it is racing, scary, and sometimes we will screw up, but we are conducting this for a reason. we believe in great journalism. journalism is the pursuit of insight of new knowledge of truth, and the truth is this recent revolution and the ways of human direction are not conversing. the pace of change will likely increase in five years' time. references in this speech may be as quaint as a pneumatic tube. if we stick to our values to discover inform, the light, i am sure we can commit pretty great acts of journalism, and that is why i am an optimist. thank you.

. >> yet, you told the new republic when you started in this job, that you thought one of the ways in which the post could do a basic work was metro and local. you were talking about the importance of the washington post as a paper for washington, when many of us think about the washington post casually, we think of it as a national brand alongside "the new york times" and "wall street journal," there are few national media brands in print, the post was one, you talked about metro and local, i'll grant you vincent gray has been the gift that keeps on giving in the mayor's office in dc, sadly that gift is coming to an end, with the recent primary results, i can understand where the material is rich, but really ahmet trough and local focus. >> well, i didn't say to the new republic that the washington post -- >> not to the exclusion of everything else. >> what i said is that the washington post needed to be strong in its local coverage. you mentioned washington, d.c., with you we cover the state of virginia. and martin o'malley, the governor there is contemplating the possibility of run

he started his career on wall street and became a journalist for "the new republic." ran into him when he was covering the primaries but he could not care about the establishment candidates so he wrote about the weird candidates. he became close to mccain. if anyone wants to be a journalist, everyone has their own style, both writerly and interview. michael is distinct and instructive on both. his writerly style is at ease of storytelling, doing something hard and making it look easy so that people underappreciate how good he is. he just tells a complex issue in story form. there is just an ease. some people do an interview as a confrontation. some people do it as a seduction. some people do it as an exchange of information. i have not heard this from woodward but it is said that it is a trade. michael is the most charming human being it is possible to imagine and they will say anything to get him to hang around. he is from new orleans and he has new orleans charm so he is a pleasure to be around and it is his winning personality. brian lamb: talk about your public pe
