Tina Brown, British-born but now American citizen, former editor of famous magazines like Tatler, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, talk-show host and winner of many journalism awards, has launched her very own news website called The Daily Beast.
What is The Daily Beast?
According to its website (and in Ms Brown’s own view), “It’s a speedy, smart edit of the web from the merciless point of view of what interests the editors. The Daily Beast is the omnivorous friend who hears about the best stuff and forwards it to you with a twist. It allows you to lead the conversation, rather than simply follow it.”
The name of the website was chosen by Ms Brown from her favourite novel: Evelyn Waugh’s Scoop, a satire on London’s Fleet Street, home of the British press.
