More on Louis Rossetto
Description from Wikipedia:
Louis Rossetto (born 1949) is an American journalist. He is best known as the founder and former publisher of Wired magazine.
Rossetto was born and grew up on Long Island, New York.
He went to Columbia University as an undergraduate and later returned for an MBA. In the early 1970s, he wrote a novel called Takeover. Several years later, he ghostwrote a book about the making of the film Caligula called Ultimate Porno.
In 1985, Rossetto joined the staff of a translation company in Amsterdam, INK Taalservice. INK launched an English-language magazine in 1987 with Rossetto as editor called Language Technology which covered the technologies used to process language. The magazine was later sold to a small Dutch media company and renamed Electric Word. It was terminated in 1990 due to insufficient revenue.
In 1991, Rossetto and his partner Jane Metcalfe resettled in the US to raise capital for Wired. They launched the magazine on a shoestring budget in January 1993.
Wired was greatly admired for its bold design and its coverage of "digital culture". The magazine exuded a counterculture ethos -- and was even compared to Rolling Stone as a barometer of the zeitgeist of the era. Its often deliberately provocative editorial reflected Rossetto's beliefs in a far-reaching "digital revolution" based on global consciousness and networked markets. Under Rossetto's five years as editor, the magazine won two National Magazine Awards for General Excellence, and one National Magazine Award for Design.
After HotWired, Wired expanded into books with HardWired and television with Wired TV. By 1996, it had Japanese and British editions, and was actively planning a German edition, as well as new business and design magazines.
