Katie Drummond, global editorial director of Wired, writes about the publication’s future coverage plans.
Drummond writes, “At WIRED we believe that technological progress and scientific discovery will, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly—often turbulently, too often inequitably—improve human lives and introduce possibilities that were once unfathomable. We believe in the potency and creativity of the human mind, and we love nothing more than to introduce all of you to the ingenious ideas and inventions that emerge from brilliant people across so many fields of inquiry. We believe that the internet can still, amid the AI slop and trolls of it all, be a place to find community, to connect across physical borders, to be informed, and to be entertained. We believe in being weird. We believe in fun. At WIRED we will always choose to believe that the world’s best days—maybe the galaxy’s best days, when we all live on Mars—are still to come. So yes. Yes, dammit. We believe in hope.
“And of course, we believe that journalism in all its incarnations, from a print magazine to a WIRED.com story to a TikTok video, is a vital part of creating that better future we all hope for and believe in.
“In that spirit, I want to reinforce what you can expect from the journalists at WIRED in the weeks, months, and years to come. We’ll be tracking and covering the incoming Trump administration and its policies, with an eye towards revealing new information that helps you understand what’s happening and why it matters.”
