This week Curtis spoke to architecture reporter, editor and critic Julie V. Iovine, the executive editor of The Architect's Newspaper. Julie spoke about her publication, which serves as publication for the niche community of architects and all the other professionals involved in the built urban environment. They offer news, inside reports, editorials, and even the occasional piece of gossip. Tune in to hear her break down what having an architecture publication means when you're an architect, a writer, AND a publisher. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
