For someone who’s been called ‘Stalin in high heels’, and the ‘best magazine editor alive’ by the same team of journalists, Tina Brown has been through all that a high profiled newspaper editor could.
Having predicted the digital revolution in media way earlier than most did, she went on to set up the news portal The Daily Beast, that later merged with The Newsweek with Brown at the helm. Now for the past couple of years after quitting the position, the 61-year-old British American has found her calling, among other things, in organising the Women in the World global summit to address gender issues.
The Summit makes its debut in India this week, with a stellar list of power women, including the likes of Cate Blanchett and Nita Ambani co-hosting. Brown, looking all business-like in a crisp white jacket and black trousers, spoke to Hindustan Times about what’s in store.
