Why I Joined Puck

Why I Joined Puck
So much of the legacy media, like politics, is essentially a gerontocracy, stuck in old ways of thinking and chasing outdated business models. Puck, which puts journalists and readers at the center of the equation, is trying something different.

Why I Joined Puck
For most publications, “fashion journalism” is an oxymoron. But the fashion business is so much bigger than the business of fashion—it intermingles with entertainment and media, yes, but also politics and finance in ways that are rarely covered.
