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.

Millennials may be cutting the cord, but they are still consuming a lot of media. The more Refinery29 can get content out, the better.

A college dropout, the 81-year-old Ellison is now worth $393 billion, Bloomberg says, several billion more than Musk, who had been the world’s richest for four years. The switch in the ranking came after a blockbuster earnings report from Oracle. Forbes still has Musk as the richest, however, valuing his private businesses much higher.
