Re/code was busy last week at the Code/Media conference but a few of our staffers still found time to hit the airwaves.
The big story was a rumored electric car coming from Apple. Re/code co-executive editor Kara Swisher joined CNBC’s “Squawk Alley” to discuss the reports.
Senior Editor Dawn Chmielewski was also on the story, joining MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow on Friday to talk about what a car from Apple might mean for would-be competitors like Tesla.
Chmielewski also joined NPR’s “Here and Now” to discuss the car rumors.
I joined in on the fun this week as well, hosting our weekly “Code/Forward” show on MSNBC from the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Calif., the site of our Code/Media conference. I spoke with some of the guests outside our cocktail party, and you can see what they had to say below.

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 of big issues with relying 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. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
