Star journalist Taylor Lorenz just resigned from The Washington Post. Her new title? - creator and founder of her own Substack newsletter: User Mag. Before The Washington Post, Taylor wrote for The New York Times. But before that - Taylor started as a Tumblr blogger. She's a great indicator of the new nature of the news: media is media, no matter where it's written and how it's broken. Gen Z watches political debates through Twitch livestreams and learns breaking news through TikTok - and Taylor herself for years has posted funny (but also informative) memes on her IG accounts. We've seen multiple video journalists leave Vox for YouTube (Cleo Abram, Johnny Harris) - as well as respected intellectual thinkers like Kyla Scanlon start from social media first. Taylor's always written about the latest happening in social media - and now she's example of those trends herself. Excited for her- and her new newsletter already has over 30K (!) subscribers!
