Forbes launches “Under 30” section on its site

Forbes launching an “Under 30” channel on its site featuring content on finance, business and entrepreneurial advice for young readers, reports Kelsey Sutton of Politico.

Sutton writes, “The site is connected to the publication’s Under 30 social networking app, which launched in August in partnership with mobile dating app Tinder and is available to around 1,500 people named on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 lists. Forbes is inviting the Under 30 community, which is made up of young entrepreneurs, executives and others, to produce editorial content for the channel as contributors. Forbes journalists and other Forbes contributors will fill the gaps with additional editorial content.

“The channel’s launch coincides with a series of in-app initiatives prompting users to share stories through videos, photos, illustrations and short posts, which Forbes editors will curate and publish.

“‘It gives the opportunity for the Under 30s to share their stories,’ said Caroline Howard, the ‘Under 30’ channel editor. ‘It’s a channel that is for them and by them, and speaks their language.'”
