Reporter Max Tani Edges His Way Into Wild Cherry

"Max Tani breaks news about the people who break news. As the media editor at , he has reported on internal editorial decisions at places like the New York Times and the Washington Post, covered newsroom turmoil at Condé Nast, and announced many, many layoffs. That means his eating habits often include work lunches, breakfast meetings, and, in the old-school media tradition, lavish dinners."

""A big part of my job is constantly going out and hanging out with people and exchanging information," he says. "I do feel like a natural consequence of that is being exposed to great bars and restaurants in New York." This week, among other things, he spotted Bradley Cooper at Wild Cherry and ordered several cornichon martinis at Le Chêne."

Max Tani serves as a media editor who reports on internal editorial decisions at outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, covers newsroom turmoil at Condé Nast, and announces multiple layoffs. His reporting often involves socializing: work lunches, breakfast meetings, and elaborate dinners, which expose him to New York bars and restaurants. He treats many meetings as information exchanges, blurring lines between work and socializing. On Wednesday he woke around eight, brewed pour-over coffee inherited from his girlfriend Lilly, skipped outdoor exercise due to a knee injury, completed 45 minutes on a home bike, and prepared for an 11 a.m. BBC Media Show appearance.
