In the last year I have:
• Assisted the AP's Contest Desk in entering its best journalism to various industry awards. (22 to be exact 💅🏻)
• Continued my freelance role assisting Fast Company's social team!
• Written some stories you can find at tiffanymoustakas.com!
It's that time of the year for some ✨personal news✨ from me: My fantastic contract role at the AP ended, so I am once again job hunting!
I plan to stay in journalism for the foreseeable future, so I'm open for any freelance/full-time roles in reporting/editing/social media!
looks like Mamdani is gonna get his rent freeze this year after all. big news on the housing beat from @smaldo.bsky.social:

It's a beautiful day to be incredibly depressed about the state of journalism!!
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
I'm looking into a potential story about job seeking on LinkedIn and I would love to hear from folks who have *not* been financially scammed but felt like a job listing or prospective employer they've interviewed with had ulterior motives. Send tips to reeltalkonline@gmail.com.
And just an FYI for anyone who may want to ask: I am NOT accepting pitches in any capacity and am not familiar with that process here. Please refer to the official site for more info!
It's an absolute DREAM to work for the AP in any capacity and tbh I still can't believe this is real!! 😭
