In February of this year, Protocol made its high-profile debut. The new tech media outlet promised to cover the market in a way that goes beyond the story of the day, to “illuminate the personalities, relationships, clashes, ideas and strategies playing out in the shadows of power.” Protocol was started by the same team that created the hugely successful site POLITICO. Bennett Richardson is vice president and general manager of Protocol. Previously, he was executive director of global strategic partnerships at POLITICO.
Look Left’s John Moran spoke with Bennett about Protocol’s roller-coaster first six months in operation and looks ahead to the months ahead, including the presidential election.
