Tina Brown visits the Seattle Scene a’la JJ

Society-host extraordinaire JJ McKay brought together a group last night of Seattle’s luminaries and literati to fully welcome legendary journalist and editor Tina Brown. Held at the beautiful Bagley and Virginia Wright Gallery, Tina shared with the crowd her successful career in journalism. Most notably, she discussed how both print and digital communication can work together which is reflected in her latest project, The Newsweek Daily Beast Company.

Her dedication to the journalism industry has breathed new life into the field. Since taking over Newsweek, Tina has helped increased newsstand sales and subscription renewals, which she also did as former editor for Vanity Fair and the New Yorker.
