I'm launching a new publication for women in media, joined by my former Teen Vogue colleague Brittney McNamara as lead editor. Launching April 28.
Also, @ClaireMPLS talked about pivoting from being a touring musician to an NBA reporter for @guardian, and how her music background helps her reporting. Definitely one of the coolest career arcs I've seen!
A narrative basketball show hosted by a woman, with no hot takes? @ClaireMPLS figured most networks would pass. Instead, she found a home at iHeart for ‘Basketball, Etc.,’ a refreshing departure from the boys’ club of sports podcasting. la-fronde.com/p/claire-de-lu…

A very scoop-heavy La Fronde today:
- An exclusive: Veteran journalist Bethany McLean joins @Inc as its first chief financial correspondent
- A new women's lifestyle magazine launches
- A new travel outlet launches that you can only get via snail mail la-fronde.com/p/exclusive-le…
The fangirls are finally getting their flowers! Women who spent their teen years building fan communities online are now getting recruited by media and entertainment companies for sought-after jobs. I talked to some of them for this week's LF.

Over the last few weeks, @jolingkent has pressed AI leaders like Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang on safety concerns. I talked with her about what she’s seeing behind the scenes, and what they *aren't* saying that stood out to her. la-fronde.com/p/jo-ling-kent…
Love what @natsfert is doing with her new Substack, Out of State. I talked to her about covering the rural politics beat and what she's seeing and hearing heading into the midterms. I learned a lot from our chat! la-fronde.com/p/natalie-fert…
I wanted to cover this story because the job market is just a different beast now. Tips like 'tap into your network' just don't have the same influence they once did, and the real job search advice comes from people who're actually in the weeds of it now.
Long-term unemployment is becoming a reality for more people. I talked to women who spent years without a full-time media job about what they started doing differently, and what finally got them hired.
First story in our new La Fronde series! la-fronde.com/p/how-one-woma…

BET hired me a few years ago to do a series for World AIDS Day and it was easily some of the most impactful reporting I’ve done. It sucks to know that’s no longer available. So many incredible advocates and experts spoke to me in an effort to educate & continue breaking stigmas.
Also new from me! For the first time since reaching a settlement with Condé Nast, Alma Avalle talks about her legal battle with the company, how she feels about the settlement itself, and how she found her way back to journalism.

New from me: Condé Nast is facing a new libel lawsuit over a viral WIRED story published last year. la-fronde.com/p/cond-nast-su…
Also, this part where she talks about media people being in a constant state of 'hypervigilance' is so real...
There are therapists out there who specifically work with media folks — and Laura Rothkopf is one! After 10 years at Vice and Warner Media, she burned out and became a licensed clinician. I spoke with her about her pivot + advice for creatives... la-fronde.com/p/how-laura-ro…

Beauty editors are flooded with products from brands, and a lot ends up going unused. A former Allure editor started a beauty sale to clear the clutter and give back to her community. She's so far raised thousands of dollars for local charities. My story:

In this op-ed, writer Brittney McNamara examines the recent discourse around Ariana Grande, her body, and her decision to take a break from the spotlight amid “public scrutiny.” teenvogue.com/story/how-to-t…

I’ll also add that it’s kind of women who are at the forefront of asking the tough questions. Thinking of @kaitlancollins @zannymb @DanaBashCNN Leila Fadel and more.
Really proud that The Interview is the fastest growing show on YouTube for the NYTimes. We’ve hit our 2 year anniversary and have only been in video for a year! We have some great new conversations planned. subscribe! youtube.com/@theinterviewpod…
Whoops, forgot to put this job posting in LF today, but The Onion's InfoWars is staffing up and hiring a social media lead to oversee strategy. Chicago or NYC preferred, though they're considering remote candidates... jobs.gusto.com/postings/glob…
As media layoffs accelerate, more pregnant women are facing two major life moments simultaneously: raising a newborn while dealing with one of the toughest job markets in years.
I spoke to two women who lived it, and a lawyer on how to protect yourself. la-fronde.com/p/what-happens…
