Hillary Rodham Clinton is coming to Code

Let’s not bury the lede: Hillary Rodham Clinton is coming to the 2017 Code conference and it is likely to be an epic interview.

Fake news? Check! Email problems? Check! FBI controversy? Check! Russian hackers? Check! The impact of tech on jobs? Check! The state of our very divided union? Double check!!

There’s no bigger story right now than our fractured political landscape, including for the tech and media sector. And there’s no better person to talk about that than someone who has spent 40 years in public service, including as First Lady, U.S. Senator, U.S. Secretary of State and the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016. She also writes books and is working on another right now, due out in September.

The first woman to be nominated for president by a major U.S. political party, the Chicago-born Clinton is well known as a longtime advocate on gender equality issues, including her famous declaration in Beijing in 1995: “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” So, we’ll talk about diversity too.

Like I said: Epic.

There are lots of other great speakers at the Code, as you can see here. And there are a few more to come. It all happens in about two weeks, so tune in for full coverage of the Clinton interview and more.

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.
