History

Left: Mossberg with Steve Jobs, 2007
Right: Swisher interviews Ann Moore, 2007

In September 2013, technology journalists Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher left AllThingsD, the technology news site they had founded and developed for Dow Jones and News Corp. Mossberg left the Wall Street Journal at the end of the year, leaving behind a popular weekly technology column. At the beginning of January 2014, the two launched their new, independent technology news website, Re/code, with 18 employees. Its holding company, Revere Digital, received minority investments from NBCUniversal and Terry Semel's Windsor Media. Re/code also provided breaking technology coverage for NBCUniversal and received video resources and exposure in return via a formal partnership. Mossberg saw the investment as a opportunity to implement new ways of covering the technology field, and planned to add an additional six employees on technology policy and mobile beats. Mossberg and Swisher also planned to continue their prominent, annual AllThingsD conference, which they renamed the "Code" conference and scheduled for the same time and location: late May in Dana Point, California.[1] Re/code also kept plans to continue their separate mobile and media conferences. CNBC became a partner in these conferences and Re/code's advertising efforts. They also discussed sharing office space.[1]

Content

Re/code focuses on technology and digital media news, particularly pertaining to the business of Silicon Valley.[1]
