Episode 61: Cord Jefferson

Published: Sept. 25, 2013, 4:23 p.m.

b'Cord Jefferson is the West Coast Editor at Gawker.\\n\\n"I consider myself to be a sincere human being. And I think that the way the internet carries itself, the way the internet has dialogues, is often insincere. That concerns me. I don\'t ever want to lose my sincerity. I don\'t ever want to lose my ability to feel emotional about things that I write about. I don\'t ever want to have a distance from everything that I write. I think that can be a danger of writing too much for the internet, that you develop this elitist distance from everything. That nothing really matters, you know?"\\n\\nThanks to TinyLetter and Hulu Plus for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow notes:\\n@cordjefferson\\nJefferson on Longform\\nJefferson\'s Gawker archive\\n[4:00] Jefferson on MSNBC (MSNBC \\u2022 Jul 2013)\\n[5:45] "Video of Violent, Rioting Surfers Shows White Culture of Lawlessness" (Gawker \\u2022 Jul 2013)\\n[7:00] "Don Lemon: Bill O\'Reilly\'s \'Got A Point\' About Black People" (Huffington Post \\u2022 Jul 2013)\\n[20:30] "Don\'t Stop Running" (The Awl \\u2022 Dec 2012)\\n[20:30] "I Used to Love Her, But I Had to Flee Her" (Gawker \\u2022 Jul 2012)\\n[31:45] "When People Write for Free, Who Pays?"
