Welcome back to Making Media. Our guest today is the preeminent aviation journalist, Jon Ostrower. Jon is the Founder and Editor-in-chief of The Air Current, which he started in 2018. It's an independent subscription media business focused on the global aerospace and aviation industries. I'd like to think of it as the Stratechery of the skies, if you're familiar with the work of the excellent tech analyst, Ben Thompson.
Jon started blogging about the airline industry as a 22-year-old while working in politics, but he quickly became consumed by his passion and went on to work for FlightGlobal, The Wall Street Journal and CNN before striking off to build his own media business. Matt and I love meeting people who are thoughtful about the business model around media as they are passionate about creating content itself.
