Summary
For 11 years, Joy Reid was one of the most prominent journalists at MSNBC, spearheading three shows for the network, including The Reid Report, A.M. Joy, and The ReidOut. Her sharp commentary earned her top ratings, a loyal following, an Emmy nomination, and an NAACP Image Award. However, she was unexpectedly fired in February when MSNBC announced a network shake-up. Just four months after her ouster, Joy launched The Joy Reid Show, an independent podcast from her production company, Image Lab Media Group. Kc Ifeanyi, the executive director of editorial programming at Fast Company, recently interviewed Joy about her views on the current media landscape, the importance of owning one's content and audience, and what we can learn from a Gen X hustler’s mindset.
