This publication, the Crain 100, is a compilation of the people behind the changes we write about. The people who are profiled represent new ideas and old ideas – but often the mix of new and old. Theo Epstein took the age-old sport of baseball, but applied data and analytics to re-form the Chicago Cubs. John Bogle took the idea of investing, but became the creator of the index fund as we know it. Matt Maloney took the simple idea of ordering food and created GrubHub as a way to make it more efficient. The 100 people, such as Epstein, Bogle and Maloney, were chosen to be featured in this section by the editors of 13 media brands owned by Crain Communications. It was an effort that spanned newsrooms across the United States and beyond. 1O O The key is the expertise from the news brands within Crain. Automotive News, for example, offered glimpses of the YEARS OF people changing the auto industry. Advertising Age profiled those influencing media and advertising. A diverse range of businesses were profiled in regional publications such as Crain’s Detroit Business, Crain’s Chicago Business and the TELLING new email-based publications covering cities like Atlanta, Indianapolis and Los Angeles. In heated newsroom debates, each publication chose GREAT the change-makers whom they cover on a regular basis. The Crain 100 tells those stories definitively, much like the stories written daily by its media brands.
