- As you all know, ad dollars are hard to come by.

We have to make a splash.

- I think that we should open with a sizzle reel.

The advertisers wanna know why they should invest

in "Scarlet's" fashion pages. They should know

a little bit about who's making it all happen.

- I would love to live in a world

where I don't have to fight for everything all the time.

The things you believe in.

Those things hurt people like me.

- You said something about a delicate matter

with "States & Nations"?

- Mark Afton.

He asks us to do things that are not okay.

- Your reporter going after a woman that I slept with

is gonna seem like you're targeting her.

- This story has to be completely bulletproof.

- Are you okay to stay late?

- Yeah, whatever it takes.

- Hey, Addison. - Just read your article.

Did you get my email about Cynthia's interview?

Her story doesn't line up.

- Maybe Joey didn't deserve to get fired.

I didn't fire him. "Pinstripe Magazine" did

because the Internet has a mind of its own.

- And so do you.

Maybe you can do something about that.

- Everything okay? - Yeah.

Richard... he texted back.

He wants to meet at the apartment tonight.

- That's so great.

So it was worth the risk.

- Yeah.

Now it's your turn.

- And so, we will continue

to make exciting content

through our podcasts,

our "Scarlet" channel, our verticals, of course,

that lead with cutting-edge voices

that expand and elevate the "Scarlet" brand.

And now it is my honor to introduce you

to the voice behind "Scarlet's" most successful vertical,

The Failing Feminist's Jane Sloan.

♪ ♪

[applause]

- Hello. I am Jane Sloan, and...

I'm a failing feminist. [chuckles]

Um, a lot of you might be wondering

why The Failing Feminist

would publish the recent "States & Nations" exposé,

only to retract it.

As the editor of The Failing Feminist,

I found and pursued this story on my own,

and I published it believing that I had all of the facts.

And though those stories were true,

the people telling those stories took liberties

that I was unaware of.

So I take the blame for that entirely.

I know it seems crazy to be calling myself out,

but I choose to see that as...

vulnerable and brave,

because that is how I'm feeling right now.

It is my job to lead The Failing Feminist.

Holding myself accountable for my error

is what a leader should do.

No matter what.

[sighs] So, shall we get started?

from Sutton's wedding, right? - Mm-hmm.

sad for me.

- You know, I'm only taking this job

because of something that you taught me.

- Really? What's that?

- Sometimes you can't play it safe.

You gotta take a risk.

Give up the layup and go for the three-pointer.

- I like that. [gasps]

- I know I'm not exactly "Pinstripe" material,

but that's why I need to do this.

Jacqueline, I...

I've become a much better man

since I showed up at "Scarlet,"

and I think that I can take what I learned from you

and really make a difference at "Pinstripe."

- Well, you will definitely make a difference...

because you're great, Alex.

- Thank you.
