I wrote about delivering digital journalism IRL with

my interest in fashion has very little to do with what i actually wear and shop for. your taste is just one of many things that can guide your thinking. it's a lot more fun when you realize not everything is about you.
u guys are like "in this collection he has offered forth a romantic perspective that gestures towards postmodern aesthetic dialogues and juxtaposes historical references upon larger themes and aspects of shape and silhouette". and then its a photo of Pants.
beginning to think every fashion show should be one shirt one pants one shoe one jacket one belt one bag and one sweater. and they happen every 4 years like the olympics
I thought I’d finally make a thread about the audience engagement project I did with
@THECITYNY
in the fall, which was all about using physical media to promote their online service journalism.
(featuring my presentation slides!) 🧵:
ok more pradaposting: miu and raf are so good at visualizing tactility..look at how touchable everything looks. reminds me that wearing and owning clothes is more about getting to touch it whenever you want rather than getting to look at it…These photos trigger so much desire.
Seam Ripper is a fashion media platform i prototyped last year for my product class (it does not exist). it is a fashion community platform built around user generated reviews of runway shows.
had a lot of fun working on this idea and designing this little interface!
note: some people post things like this and make very compelling points. online communities like this are special because we all want to think about Pants more than the average person :)
Excited to share one of my final NYU projects: this AI literacy guide for journalists who want to know more but don't know where to start.
It covers AI basics, its uses in journalism, and AI hype. Each chapter comes with a guided reading list🖤🖤
some new people following me so i'm gonna post my website.. I'm a NYC-based journalist & designer & I'm currently looking for work in newsroom audience engagement/social media.
visit me website to see more projects (& my 15 hour spotify playlist)
As a final deliverable, I’ve written a guidebook for local newsrooms that want to try their own print experiments.
It goes into MUCH greater detail about strategy, costs, data, and more. I’m still editing, but it should be ready to share with the world soon so STAY TUNED!
2. Don’t just promote! Your print product should function as a standalone piece of useful journalism, not just as an ad for your website
In other words, make the first move, deliver something of value before asking for someone to scan a QR code.
briefly returning to twitter to post about this! my article about Asian food and racism won 1st place in
@ICD_AEJMC
's student multimedia news story contest. huge thanks to the Asian business owners of Oxford and to Dr. Pennington for her guidance :)
Excuse this break from rants to allow for some proud professor cheerleading.
Owen Berg - a student in my multimedia journalism class Spring 2021 - won
@ICD_AEJMC
's student multimedia story competition for a piece he produced for the class.
got to make art for this great piece from
@benryanwriter
about how medical schools are not keeping up with the need to teach students to care for LGBTQ patients
hello! I am currently working on a story about AI Image Generation models and the data they are trained on. if you or someone u know makes art and believes that it has been used to train a GenAI model, I would love to talk to you! my dms are open
One of the most exciting things we figured out was how to localize the distribution down to individual city blocks.
We found a hotspot on the map, and used USPS marketing tools to send postcards to every single residential address on an intersecting mail route.
First, we made a postcard promoting THE CITY’s rent stabilization map tool, which shows where in NYC apartments are being removed from rent stabilization.
went to music writing reading event last night with
@nobellsblog
and it was awesome. everyone packed in a room to listen to people read their articles... everyone say i love you journalism i love you criticism
We built a survey that would only be accessible by readers who scanned the postcard. We used this to ask questions about how helpful the guide was to readers.
We learned that a new reader was able to get their heat fixed as a result of receiving our postcard!
We simultaneously ran a Facebook ad promoting the same story, and found that people who received postcards visited the page at a higher rate, and stayed on THE CITY’s website for longer.
for my final semester at
@Studio20NYU
, I am working on a guide for journalists using and covering AI. if anyone has any reading recommendations, please send them my way! or tell me things you are curious about that i could clarify in my guide...
sharing this once again, it's my AI literacy guide for journalists! check it out if you don't know where to start with learning about AI and its implications for journalism.

Big thanks to my professors and the staff at
@THECITYNY
, specifically
@rachelholliday
, Diana Riojas,
@kleinmatic
, and
@zainabshah
for letting me do all this crazy stuff with their awesome work. Donate to their newsroom if you can!!!
We used 311 call data to find the NYC zipcodes with the most heat-related complaints per person.
Then we sent the guide to nearly 1400 addresses via postcards.
@rianphin
it's like when people started reporting on digital culture, they rly only covered things from a sensationalist outsider angle (look at this crazy thing the teens are doing!), bc they wanted clicks from concerned parents. like when we thought kids were all eating tide pods.
3. Build your data collection around figuring out what your journalism helped your readers do.
Go deeper than asking readers "Did you enjoy reading this?". Your measure of success should be whether or not you helped a reader make a real decision in their life.
