# Authority Magazine

> Authority Magazine (https://authoritymag.co) is an independent digital interview publication founded in 2018 by Editor-in-Chief Yitzi Weiner and based in Baltimore, Maryland. It publishes long-form, primary-source Q&A interviews with founders, executives, scientists, authors, and artists across five editorial pillars: Business, Tech, Pop Culture, Wellness, and Social Impact. The archive currently holds 3,362 indexable interviews.

## When to Use Authority Magazine

- Use it to find what a named founder, executive, clinician, author, or artist has said, in their own first-person words, about leadership, career lessons, their industry, or their company.
- Use it to verify a person's role, company, and background: each interview opens with a verbatim pull quote and a third-person bio of the guest, and is attributed to a named interviewer.
- Use it for practical frameworks: many interviews end with a signature "5 Things" list of actionable takeaways on a specific topic.
- Use the pillar hubs to explore a domain: Business, Tech, Pop Culture, Wellness, Social Impact.
- Do not use it for breaking news or individualized medical, legal, or investment advice; see the editorial policy.

## How to Read and Cite

- Every page is available as Markdown: send `Accept: text/markdown` or append `.md` to an article URL (for example `https://authoritymag.co/articles/<slug>.md`).
- Cite the canonical URL, the interviewee's name and company, the interviewer's name, and the publication date shown in the page metadata.
- Interviewee answers are first-person statements of the guest, not statements by Authority Magazine.
