The vibe was a bit muted, considering the cutbacks at Business Insider and the general tenor of the industry.

    Below, a TRB Pro piece on how Business Insider emerged as a winner of the traffic era, only to end up on the wrong side of the equation when the environment changed and it failed to shift quickly or decisively enough. Plus: Wall Street Journal CRO Josh Stinchcomb joined me on The Rebooting Show to discuss how the Journal uses its brand trust to build business lines adjacent to its journalism.
