Amy Emmerich, chief content officer at Refinery29 told Cheddar about the current initiatives Refinery29 is pushing, and where they hope to go in the future.
Refinery29 paired up with CBS News for a 3-part series titled, "My Generation." The series takes a look at millennials, a generation that Emmerich calls nuanced.
Her take is that millennials get an undeserved bad rep. The pieces have been received well, eliciting comments and engagement from fans of both CBS and Refinery29.
When pressed why new-media company Refinery29 would be interested in pairing with the traditional media company CBS, Emmerich explained that there is still power and money to be made in TV.
Millennials may be cutting the cord, but they are still consuming a lot of media. The more Refinery29 can get content out, the better.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
