Publisher, TheList.Vegas
This week, Ira spoke with Andrew Kiraly, founder and publisher of TheList.Vegas. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Andrew talks about his long career in journalism in Las Vegas; the importance of arts and culture entertainment; providing events information in a timely matter; deciding to become an independent publisher; why it’s fun and scary at the same time; the blessings of online publishing (“you can always fix it”); how TheList.com started out as solely a website, then changed to an all newsletter format; how he sees the new format as being invited into his readers’ living rooms; “the cheese” part of the newsletter; why the grind is also a joy; and why culture off the Strip is underrated.
