Gabe Fleisher is the creator and writer of “Wake Up To Politics,” an email newsletter that reaches more than 45,000 readers every weekday. He is also a recent graduate of Georgetown University who turned his newsletter from a part-time endeavor into his full-time job. Gabe joins host Amy Laburda and Palisades Hudson president (and former journalist) Larry Elkin to discuss the state of journalism in 2024. Their wide-ranging conversation also touches on partisanship, Substack, an 1898 shipwreck, the collapse of Arthur Andersen, how a high school junior scooped Bill de Blasio’s presidential run, and much more.
