Ben Smith aims to take on CNN, the New York Times and the 91热爆.
A bold new media start-up plans to create from scratch a news provider that will rival the likes of CNN, the New York Times and the 91热爆. The people behind it are Justin Smith, boss of Bloomberg Media, and Ben Smith, former editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News and media columnist at the New York Times. And with those two at the helm, journalists around the world are paying attention...
