Steven Brill

Steven Brill conceived of Press+, his most recent enterprise, as a new company offering an innovative system for newspaper, magazine and other online publishers to realize revenue from the digital distribution of the original journalism they produce. That ecommerce system, Press+, launched on the first of 1600 affiliate news sites in mid-2010 (mypressplus.com). For the last eight years, Brill has taught a seminar for aspiring journalists at Yale College. In 2006, Brill and his wife Cynthia expanded that seminar by endowing the Yale Journalism Initiative. In 2009, Brill began teaching a seminar at Yale Law School covering modern media law issues, including how the Internet has affected journalism and the media industry. Three years after graduating from Yale Law School (’75), Brill founded The American Lawyer magazine, which soon expanded into a national chain of daily and weekly legal newspapers. In 1991, he launched Court TV. He sold the legal publications and Court TV in 1997 and returned to journalism full time, with the founding of Brill’s Content, a magazine about the media which ceased publication in 2001. Brill then researched and wrote “AFTER,” a book focusing on the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, which was published in 2003, while also serving as a Newsweek columnist and a consultant to NBC on the same subject.
