A Candid Conversation with Taylor Lorenz on Journalism and Gossip Surrounding Reporters

Check us out on Patreon! Journalist Taylor Lorenz joins us today to talk about a host of things. Taylor is a journalist for The Washington Post and her beat covers the internet and online culture. Together we talk about the ins and outs of different social media apps today (why is TikTok growing so rapidly, which social media app is next on the horizon), different online content creators (is Axel Webber an industry plant, and what was the story about GirlWithNoJob) and much more. I also ask Taylor for her take on if journalists ever look at blind items ("100% they do") and we cover blind items on different journalists - Tucker Carlson, Julian Assange and of course, Elon Musk finds his way into the blind items again when it comes to gossip about journalists.
