Standard Industries, an industrial company with roofing subsidiaries, has become a backer of media start-ups including Air Mail and Puck. In an interview with Business Insider, Graydon Carter, the former Vanity Fair editor and founder of Air Mail, described Standard as “a very glamorous roofing company.” A roofing business investing in buzzy media start-ups seems curious, to say the least. But connections between Standard and the media world — and the lost kingdom of Vanity Fair under Carter, in particular — don’t end there. Several former Vanity Fair employees have gone to work for Standard. Why? The answer, it appears, is as much about the aspirations and evolution of Standard as it is about the extinction of the type of career once offered by legacy print media.
