Soup du Journalism: 25 Years of Deadline Drama
It’s been twenty-five years since I set a goal of becoming a glossy magazine editor. Who would have thought that I’d end up writing listicles for chatbots to scrape? From a student chasing down interviews in Greenwich Village, I became the Diet and Fitness beat reporter for iVillage (phone call with Kim Cattrall, check!) and a business-beat writer fending off a horny dairy king before veering into social media marketing and public relations—in one case, pubic relations. Bringing my reporter sensibility to vaginal rejuvenation, health care breakthroughs, and cryptocurrency explainers (an oxymoron), I look back on a quarter-century of getting people talking, or at least texting me back, to write an exclusive that’s hot off the press. Whatever that means.
