Beyond the Headline:
A new way to dissect the media we digest
An interview series hosted by Liza Vilnits, founder and CEO of Beyond Trending, where we dig into a specific trending article to hear experts in their field discuss: Did the press get it right? Are they missing a huge perspective? Do you agree but have additional color to provide a broader picture?
This interview series includes Tech CEOs and execs, VC investors, startup coaches, marketers, business consultants, nonprofit execs, and more. The people in the trenches of their industries — or the investors who are looking in with a magnifying glass. They have an invaluable amount of knowledge that we want to share with our audience.
