Capital Brief is the new kid on the business block, and John McDuling is its editor-in-chief. He was previously the national business editor at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age and has also worked for the Financial Review and US publication Quartz.

I wanted to talk to him because Capitol Brief has been operating now for a year, and its reason for being is due to a belief that there is space for more than one or two business newspapers in Australia. In particular, in John’s words space for a “publication for decision-makers in the new economy”… 

What does he mean? Well, he talks in this chat about exactly that, about how millennials are now in boardrooms and the shift that brings, about trust in media and how Capital Brief is addressing that.
