Laura Baverman of the Upstart Business Journal examines the new tech news site Re/code and doesn’t find much different than other tech news sites or what its predecessors did at All Things Digital.
Baverman writes, “But perhaps most interesting in the new site launch—promised since the pair parted ways with AllThingsD parent News Corp. last September—is Re/code’s stated mission to reimagine tech media and for Mossberg and Swisher to reinvent themselves.
“There’s little hint of what this might mean in a blog post introducing the new site yesterday. And so far, they’re writing the same types of stories as in the past. There’s already a conference on the calendar for May, likely to continue the success of the 11-year-old D: All Things Digital conference series. Many of the same staff members are involved in both the site and the conference preparation.
“But we can’t discount the legacy that Mossberg and Swisher carry with them into this new venture. Atypical of most startup tech news sites today, the two co-founders—Mossberg, age 66, and Swisher, 51—have covered technology since the consumer Internet began, becoming experts on the industry throughout the first tech boom in the 1990s and early 2000s.”
