Re/code on the Air: This Week's TV and Radio Hits

Re/code‘s writers don’t spend all their time in front of computers — sometimes, they’re also in front of TV cameras and radio microphones. Here’s a roundup of where we were this week.

On Tuesday, James Temple joined NPR’s Here & Now to talk about his night with Elon Musk’s D — that is, the latest version of the Tesla electric car.

In other Tesla news, Arik Hesseldahl joined CNBC to talk about the research firm IHS’s recent teardown of the Tesla Model S dashboard.

Also on CNBC, Walt Mossberg offered a look-ahead at Apple’s latest product announcements, and he also discussed his review of the August Smart Lock.

Eric Johnson (that’s me!) appeared on MSNBC to discuss Gamergate, an ongoing online clash over gender and journalism in games.

And on the NBC Nightly News, Peter Kafka talked about HBO’s about-face decision to offer an over-the-top online subscription, starting next year.

Peter also talked about the same announcement with KCRW.

On Wednesday, Kurt Wagner joined Tech News Today to chat about a new Facebook feature for emergency check-ins during natural disasters.

Thursday was the day of yet another product event from Apple, and Lauren Goode talked about the latest with WAGT. Arik Hesseldahl then did the same with CNBC.

And finally, on Friday, Kara Swisher joined CNBC to talk about Cupertino’s upcoming payments system Apple Pay, which launches on Monday.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
