Congrats Zohran on being the first Mets fan to realize that if he wanted to see a big win in his lifetime he’d have to do it himself

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

Nicole is one of the most thoughtful, kind editors I've met. She had done so much great work in this space and I feel lucky I got to see even a snippet of how much she loved what she was doing at Polygon at AAJA23. Huge loss for this industry on so many fronts. Polygon was so great.

now that every writer’s been forced to pivot to a one-man-show newsletter, every post is like ‘i wrote about Anora (2024), the end of the USSR, vladimir putin, child labor laws, Alf, and the postmodernism of fredric jameson ❤️’

10 years ago, I ran an Oscar Pool for all of my 20s and the friends I accumulated along the way. (I stopped it in 2015 because I started covering entertainment). Tonight, I'm tallying the lil Oscar Pool I'm running for the USC students I work with. I love the Oscars.

Had a great time speaking at #IIJ2025, hyping up the audio listerv community and having it on the record that I can be annoying 😂🤓

Today is the day!! Excited!

My students regularly ask me about my entertainment editor days and how to cover junkets and red carpets, so it was fun to finally put this on the record at @ryanbeckwith.bsky.social's Your First Byline!

This article written by Ivy Russell, a pioneer in women's strength training, is my personal touchstone. Especially a fan of the part where she talks about women should strength train so you can throw a harasser over your head

Very excited for this! Last year, one of my projects ended and I scrambled to find new clients, so I made sure that didn't happen again this year. Excited to talk all about how you can learn from my mistakes! If you're one of my students and want to attend, I have a 10% code. DM me for details.

I was a Blue Ribbon Judge for the Ambies this year in the True Crime and News categories. Excited to see which podcasts win in March!

Yesterday was West Coast Media Jobs' 5th anniversary! (I was teaching all day so I didn't have time to make a post.) Proud of how far it has come and there's so much more I want to do. Stay tuned. You can subscribe here: westcoastmediajobs.substack.com

I watched two virtual #Sundance films: BY DESIGN: Yes, this is the body swap movie with a chair. It's weird and abstract. I'm not sure what to make of it quite yet. SORRY, BABY: Really touching movie about trauma, female friendship and academia. Beautifully done.

Great job opportunity for journalist. Not only is this applying your craft in reporting/investigating, it's upholding the ideals of a free press and democracy itself. Couldn't be more important right now, and I'm extra happy to see more light cast on our region!
