Facebook Co-Founder and New Republic Publisher Chris Hughes: Why Print is the ‘Crown Jewel’ of the Business

Last month I had the chance to attend the Adobe Digital Symposium in New York. Much of sessions focused on how brand marketers are harnessing the power of tablet and mobile publishing tools. However, as part of the day’s events, Chris Hughes, publisher and editor-in-chief of The New Republic joined head of Adobe’s digital publishing Nick Bogaty for a Q&A session. If you’re not familiar with Hughes in his publishing role, he’s also known as one of the founders of Facebook and the online organizer of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, heavily powered by a savvy social media strategy.
