Rachel Sklar will do twitter interview after leaving Huffington Post
Just this Monday Rachel Sklar paid a visit to my class at the Journalism School at Columbia University. Delighted that we were spared of another AP Stylebook drill it wasn’t hard for her to win over the broadcast students that were gathered in the room - not that she wouldn’t be able to do that anyway.
Together with Jay DeDapper from WNBC, the senior contributing editor of the Huffington Post discussed political reporting in a changing media world. When DeDapper mentioned twitter, she proudly took out her Blackberry and started typing away.
Today, she announced via AJR that she was leaving her position at the HuffPost to pursue other jobs in the industry:
“One of the things she will miss most, she says, is the adrenaline rush that comes with the constant demand to produce. As of November 7, Sklar, senior contributing editor for the Huffington Post and writer and editor of the Web site’s blog “Eat the Press,” will be parting ways with her all-consuming gig to pursue other projects.”
The good news is, within the next week I will have an interview with Rachel via twitter, a first time for her and me. In the meantime I will figure out the best way to organize and archive this, but it would not hurt if you start following the both of us. Suggestions and possible questions are welcome.
