During a week in which Re/code was as much in the news as covering the news, founders Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher turned to TV to explain why they decided to sell the site’s parent company, Revere Digital, to digital media publisher Vox Media.
Mossberg and Swisher tell CNBC the sale is about ensuring Re/code’s future, then move on to other topics, such as the frothy investing environment in Silicon Valley.
Also on CNBC, Swisher discusses the Google I/O developer conference and her Code Conference interview with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

We have a request
In moments like this — as people grapple to understand variants and vaccines, and kids head back to school — many outlets take their paywalls down. Vox’s content is always free, in part because of financial support from our readers. We’ve been covering the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year and a half. From the beginning, our goal was to bring clarity to chaos. To empower people with the information they needed to stay safe. And we’re not stopping.
In the next 30 days, we’re aiming to add 2,500 individual contributions to help keep our coverage of the Covid-19 crisis free for everyone who needs it. As each of us is only as healthy as our sickest neighbor, it’s essential that people can access clear information on the pandemic for free. Will you help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox with as little as $3?
