American journalist Graydon Parker, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, spent over fifty years in print journalism. He discussed the challenges facing publications and the future of magazines, emphasizing that they will become large, well-produced, and image-heavy publications resembling books more than traditional magazines. Parker noted that the decline of print magazines was due to a combination of factors including the rise of the internet and the 2008 financial crisis, which led major companies to withdraw advertising. He observed that newsstands have almost disappeared in New York, contrasting with Europe where magazine publishing remains more vibrant. Parker also reflected on his long relationship with Donald Trump, from writing about him in the 1980s to observing his presidency and media influence. He highlighted how social media has changed celebrity culture and media criticism today.
