A Conversation With Pierre Lipton of 1440 Media

Demeaning email as dead is a standard launch technique for new social networks — with the frequent addition of 'nobody under the age of ___ uses email.' So it's a pleasant surprise to hear Forbes 30-under-30 winner Pierre Lipton speak with deep knowledge and enthusiasm about email as a channel.

Pierre is co-founder and COO of 1440, an email newsletter 'covering the biggest stories of the day across industries and geography, all in a 5 minute read.' In just a few short years, 1440 has attracted well over a million daily readers. Pierre's conversation with host Matthew Dunn focuses on journalism as well as email; 1440's distinct business model is a deliberate reboot of data- and fact- based news. Pierre shares some fascinating statistics about the wide range (geographically and politically) of 1440's reader base.
