From National Security Blogger to Editor of Rolling Stone with Noah Shachtman

This week, Shane Harris talks with Noah Shachtman, the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone. Before he took over the world’s most iconic music publication, Shachtman was a national security journalist.

Later, he ran the news division of Foreign Policy and then became the top editor of The Daily Beast, where he oversaw a team of national security reporters--including Shane! On this episode, they discuss Shachtman’s earlier career as a musician, how that prepared him for his new gig, and where  journalism is succeeding and failing today.  Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.
