Good morning!
Welcome to Outsider on the Inside. I hope this dispatch from in and around the nation’s capital on underreported topics finds you well.
If you’re just discovering my musings, here’s a backgrounder.
Here’s what I have for you:
Teasing an Interview Monday Morning
Earlier this week, I sat down with a prominent public official for a wide-ranging interview.
I won’t reveal who I spoke to just yet. That would ruin the surprise! So I’ll keep you, dear readers, in suspense until then. To learn who I spoke to, make sure you sign up for my FREE newsletter Angling Right or subscribe to my podcast District of Conservation.
What You Need to Know: I’ll be dropping a teaser on my podcast Monday morning. Then I’ll publish the full interview at Townhall.com next Friday at midnight, June 11th, and publish the accompanying video on my YouTube Channel at 10am ET that day.
Trust me, you don’t want to miss it. ;) Stay tuned!
Three Ways to ‘Make It’ in Conservative Media Today
I have a fun column up at Townhall.com today, pigging backing off of my 15th anniversary of first getting published.
Fifteen years ago this week, I landed my first writing gig.
I was unpolished, young, and inexperienced. And I hadn’t found my voice yet. My “Teen Beat” column, however, helped jumpstart my career.
Writing for my community paper eventually gave way to stints at my university’s conservative newspaper, an internship at Media Research Center, and co-launching several blogs. In 2013, I finally got my big break publishing this article here at Townhall.com.
Fast forward to today: I’ve been fortunate to have bylines in national publications, an award to my name, and a sizable social media platform—things I value and don’t take for granted.
Has the journey been smooth sailing? Far from it. I’ve faced my share of failures, rejections, missed opportunities, and bad experiences. Everyone has their ups and downs. But I wouldn’t change anything I did.
I have no doubt some young people reading this are contemplating a career in conservative media. What advice would I impart to them? Here are some helpful tips for “making it” in the industry today.
