Tina Brown
Perhaps the most talked about magazine editor in the world, Tina Brown is a master marketer and media entrepreneur. From a young writer for Punch and the London Sunday Times, she quickly rose through the ranks of the magazine industry on both sides of the Atlantic to become editor of Vanity Fair. There, the dynamic Brown made her name as a pioneer of celebrity journalism and transformed the magazine into a turnaround success story.
She next became the first woman editor of the venerable The New Yorker, where her innovative strategies also revived circulation. Brown then turned her hand to publishing her own magazine and to serving as a talk-show host before founding TheDailyBeast.com, a one-stop news shop where she is editor-in-chief.
Brown is the best-selling author of The Diana Chronicles, an in-depth portrayal of the English aristocracy and the woman known as the "people's princess."
