Wired Celebrates 15

Irin Carmon writes at WWD.com today about Wired magazine and the publication's celebration of 15 years of success. She writes, "Fifteen years in, Wired seems relatively untroubled by its paradoxes. The magazine purports to cover the future with a several-months lead time; it's a print magazine that has outlasted boom and bust, as well as many of its competitors and an inherently fickle tech culture, but that until two years ago was orphaned from its online component, originally sold to Lycos. A mostly New York-based media corps repeatedly anoints it for print-oriented attributes like design, crafted apart in San Francisco. Its editor says he is not "a media person" but he's out there front and center offering answers to, among others, media people. "

Carmon goes on to discuss the "alleged victory of the nerds" (i.e. the survival of Wired). Read the complete article here.
