A Complex Interview

By Dylan

We conducted a feature interview with Complex publisher Rich Antoniello and editor Richard Martin, and they had some tough love for the MPA, big magazines’ corporate culture and people who call them “urban.”

  • Martin on the MPA’s diversity initiative: “There was a lot of patting each other on the back, or giving excuses. I think any diversity initiative is just lip-service.”
  • Antoniello on his experience at Wenner Media and National Georgraphic: “Every time you were looking to make a change in the magazine editorially, it was like turning the Titanic.”
