Wired's New Editor in Chief on Why Tech Reporting Is More Important Than Ever

Nick Thompson is shaking things up at the iconic magazine

Adweek: I recently read that when you worked at Wired the first time, as a senior editor from 2005 to 2010, you actually edited the story that became the movie Argo. Did you get a little piece of an Oscar or anything?

Nick Thompson: No, unfortunately. I didn’t make any money. I didn’t get an Oscar. And I’ve never met Ben Affleck. But I got the glory.

True. And you also co-founded The Atavist, which is pretty cool.
