Rachel Rosenfelt, co-founder and editor of The New Inquiry has been running the online publication since 2009 "all without financial backing or institutional support." That is saying a lot, because she and her team, including Gawker's own Adrian Chen, have created a web platform and monthly digital magazine that has become a place where you will witness the most prominent young writers, artists, thinkers, movers, and shakers shape the future of cultural criticism. Regular alchemists.
