Melissa Bell is a co-founder of Vox, and when asked by Nieman Reports about the value of the content management platform they use, she parried with culture:
People always go back to the fact that we are using a custom content management system called Chorus. This is going to sound a little Mr. Rogers-esque, but one of the things that has allowed us to do such great work is the culture that we’ve built and not so much the platform that we’ve built.
The platform is a great technology product, but it’s the team that’s doing the work on it that matters most. It’s also the ability to say we need to get this company to change quickly and to be on the same page about the direction.
We return, once again, to the tech versus culture argument, with Bell coming down firmly that culture eats technology for breakfast.
