Leaving aside commentary on mainstream media which I can no longer defend despite having been part of the institution—in magazines and startup websites, at least—let’s focus on what, ahem, independent* media I have been consuming as a Xennial (they’re not really talking about us anymore, are they? sigh, loss of special snowflake identity).
Top 5 newsletters I open the minute they hit my inbox:
- Le Catch
- After School (how I stay up on Gen Z)
- Sunday Best from Thirtyish by my longest-read blog, Cap Hill Style (we’ve got a decade+ together, very Millennial)
- Handpicked by Alex Steele
- Pirate Wires – keeping nuance alive in journalism! (This piece on last night’s Elon & BBC interview–on twitter at that!–is IT)
Top 5 creators I watch on TikTok you know where… instagram, of course!
