Friends: We've updated the pitching guidelines for @AtlasObscura and Gastro Obscura, and built out extensive notes on what's worked for us, what we're interested in, and more to set freelancers up for success. It's all here: https://t.co/yn3wrjCNTU.
if any news publications need coverage (articles, photography, videography) of things happening in #vienna after #taylorswift got cancelled, DM me. I'm an Emmy Award-winning journalist who is in Vienna now and was going to her Saturday show #journorequest
A few months ago, I heard @BusinessInsider was looking for stories about couples who met in a unique wayโฆ so I pitched @TheGillest and Iโs story! https://t.co/indyg00Mfc
The post-layoff depression kicked in this morning. I'd resigned myself to rot in bed all day. Then I got up, drank a protein shake and remembered who the fuck I am.
Some hope (I hope) for folks affected by #medialayoffs: 7 months ago, over the course of 48 hrs, I decided to accept a buyout from @businessinsider & try #freelancing. I hadnโt prepared & was lucky to be able to *decide,* but Iโm fumbling my way into a career & life I love. A๐งต:
Seeing so many layoff posts from The LA Times, SI, and more. Itโs so disheartening to see so many talented, intelligent people out of work. I was laid off from Condรฉ Nast last month. If anyone needs to talk/vent/cry, Iโm here for you ๐
You have to be a leading lady but you canโt be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you canโt be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you canโt be nominated for best original song.
This will be official tomorrow so I wonโt say much now, other than Iโm thrilled to have this opportunity, and hope to help with some of the big questions and problems we face. Thanks for all the kind words!
