    Nov 21 2024

    Do you want to know what it was like to work inside BuzzFeed at the height of its power? Ryan can help you with that.

    “Digital media was the problem. It wasn't the job. Like the burnout I felt as a journalist was not because I didn't like being a journalist. It was because the structure I was in sucked ass run by sickos. And now it's like, it's nice. Like turns out that even on a bad news day, like this week, it was still fine.”

    Ryan Broderick is the writer of Garbage Day, a Webby Award-winning newsletter about the Internet, and the host of the new podcast Panic World. He reported for BuzzFeed from 2012 to 2020, and has also worked at Vice, Gawker, and the Awl.

  • Gita Jackson Doesn’t Make Companies Happy, So You Don’t Have to Either
    Nov 14 2024

    What do you do when video game journalism is crumbling around you? Gita can help you with that.

    “The other thing about Aftermath specifically is I would trust those motherfuckers with my life. There's so much money that goes into that bank account and I don't see any of it. And I just trust that they're not depleting it, you know? I trust them so much that even when they piss me off, I still want to run a business with them. So I feel like my internal bullshit calibrator is very, very strong.”

    Gita Jackson is the co-owner of Aftermath, a worker-owned news site covering video games, the internet, and the cultures that surround them. She is also the co-host of 52 Pickup, a podcast about the DC Comics series 52, with Alex Jaffe.

    Oct 31 2024

    What do you do when the art form you love and you do as your job is changing underneath your feet? Josh can help you with that (and give you a pep talk).

    Maybe I would like David Zaslev more if he was the machine's assistant instead of the CEO. Pay him and see if he can make his lifestyle work on an assistant salary.

    What do you do when you’re stuck between being on the Internet and finding jobs in LA? Akilah can help you with that.

    “Art isn’t competitive. It’s just not. As long as I’m making stuff that I’m proud of, that I do think will elicit a response, or at least elicit a response from me because I respect my own taste, then I think that it’s never really gonna be over for me.”

  • David Roth Became a Worker-Owner, So You Can Too
    Oct 17 2024

    What do you do when the VC company who bought your blog tells everyone to stick to writing about one narrow topic? Roth can help you with that.

    “The crucial difference [between Defector and] every shitty place that I've worked was that the people that owned it didn't really value it or want to own it or care about it that much. This is all that any of us want to do. Like we want to grow, we want to hire more people, do more posts, pay ourselves more, but this is it. This is a terminal position for me.”

    David Roth is a writer, podcast host, and an editor at and co-owner of Defector. He has written about sports, politics, and other things at Deadspin, The New Republic, The Baffler, New York Magazine, New York Daily News, and more. He is from New Jersey and lives in New York; he does his posting on Bluesky now.
