02/14/24 • 61 min
People often highlight how food brings us together, yet seldom do we acknowledge its potential to divide us. Our upcoming guest firmly believes in the mantra, "food culture is for everyone," shaping her vision as the newly appointed Editor-in-Chief of Condé Nast's Bon Appétit.
In this On The Pass episode, we are joined by Jamila Robinson, a veteran journalist, esteemed leader in food media, and an innovator. Jamila's incredible career has spanned decades, with notable tenures at media organizations such as Atlantic Media, the USA Today Network, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and The Detroit Free Press. Previously, until August 2023, she served as the assistant managing editor for food and culture at The Philadelphia Inquirer, a position she held since 2020. In addition to her editorial roles, Jamila has played pivotal roles in renowned culinary institutions, having chaired the James Beard Foundation’s Journalism Awards Committee and currently serving as an active Academy chair for the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.
On August 28th, 2023, The Philadelphia Inquirer announced Jamila's departure from the publication to assume the role of Editor-in-Chief at Bon Appétit. In her new capacity, she will direct the editorial direction, brand strategy, audience development, and all content for Bon Appétit and their recipe website, Epicurious.
This conversation with Jamila holds significant importance on multiple fronts: it marks one of Jamila's initial public interviews as Editor-in-Chief and presents an opportunity to delve into her visionary plans for this iconic brand. Amidst the numerous shifts in the media landscape, Jamila's unwavering commitment and fervent vision propel her forward. She is dedicated to establishing Bon Appétit as one of the most important food culture brands globally, demonstrating to the world that food culture is for everyone.
