Graydon Carter, exeditor de *Vanity Fair*, ha sido una figura prominente en el mundo del periodismo y la producción de revistas.
En su reciente memoria, reflexiona sobre su carrera, sus encuentros con personalidades influyentes como Donald Trump y Anna Wintour, y la época dorada de las revistas.
En una conversación con Walter Isaacson, Carter comparte anécdotas fascinantes que ofrecen una visión única de su vida y carrera.
Carter comienza su relato hablando de su padre, un piloto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que, aunque no tuvo éxito en los negocios, dejó una huella imborrable en su vida.
Su padre era un amante de la naturaleza y la aventura, lo que influyó en la perspectiva de Carter sobre el trabajo y la vida.
Desde joven, aprendió el valor del trabajo duro, trabajando en diversas ocupaciones, incluyendo como liniero para el ferrocarril canadiense.
Esta experiencia le enseñó a valorar a las personas que han trabajado con sus manos, lo que más tarde influiría en su estilo de contratación.
Carter recuerda sus inicios en *Time*, donde se sintió como un extraño entre un grupo de talentos excepcionales.
A pesar de su inseguridad, su deseo de encajar y su trabajo arduo lo llevaron a crear *Spy*, una revista satírica que capturó la esencia de Nueva York en una época de cambio.
La idea detrás de *Spy* era burlarse de las pretensiones de la élite neoyorquina, y Carter y su equipo lograron hacer de la revista un éxito.
Uno de los momentos más memorables de Carter fue su encuentro con Donald Trump.
Originalmente, Carter fue asignado por *GQ* para escribir un artículo sobre Trump, lo que le proporcionó su primera exposición nacional.
A pesar de la imagen pública de Trump, Carter lo encontró encantador en un sentido de vendedor.
Sin embargo, un comentario sobre las manos de Trump llevó a la famosa etiqueta de “vulgar de dedos cortos”, lo que desencadenó una serie de reacciones de Trump, que incluían cartas amenazantes y críticas en Twitter.
Carter narra cómo, a pesar de las tensiones, Trump intentó forjar una amistad con él más tarde, invitándolo a cenas y eventos.
Sin embargo, la relación nunca se consolidó completamente, y las críticas de Carter sobre Trump continuaron a lo largo de los años.
Otro aspecto significativo de la vida de Carter fue su relación con Anna Wintour, la influyente editora de *Vogue*.
Carter describe su amistad inicial y cómo Wintour lo introdujo en el mundo de Condé Nast.
Sin embargo, a medida que Wintour ascendió en su carrera, la dinámica entre ellos se volvió más complicada.
Carter sintió que Wintour intentaba reclutar a parte de su equipo para su propia revista, lo que generó tensiones en su relación.
A pesar de estos desafíos, Carter reconoce la importancia de Wintour en su carrera y su impacto en el mundo de la moda y las revistas.
Su relación, aunque complicada, fue fundamental en la evolución de ambos en la industria.
Carter finalmente se convirtió en editor de *Vanity Fair*, donde pasó 25 años.
Durante su mandato, transformó la revista en un referente de periodismo de calidad, atrayendo a escritores talentosos y produciendo historias de gran profundidad.
Sin embargo, también enfrentó desafíos financieros, ya que el periodismo de larga duración es costoso y requiere tiempo y recursos.
A pesar de estos obstáculos, Carter se mantuvo firme en su compromiso con el periodismo de calidad.
La carrera de Graydon Carter es un testimonio de la evolución del periodismo y la producción de revistas en una época dorada.
Sus experiencias con figuras como Donald Trump y Anna Wintour ofrecen una visión fascinante de las complejidades de la fama, el poder y la amistad en el mundo de las revistas.
A través de su memoria, Carter no solo celebra su trayectoria, sino que también reflexiona sobre el futuro del periodismo en un mundo en constante cambio.
