Why I'm leaving legacy media

I'm excited to announce that I'm leaving legacy media to launch my new independent publication, User Magazine, on Substack, under which I will pursue the type of reporting on the internet that has become increasingly difficult to do in corporate media.

User Mag is founded on the belief that the real story of technology lies with its users. Instead of focusing on corporate earnings and boardroom conflicts, User Mag will cover how people are actually *using* technology.

I'll be reporting on the people and movements that are steering tech and internet culture, from weird online phenomena, to under-the-radar trends, to content creators, platform developments, policy initiatives, and the powerful forces that shape our online world. It's about who has power on the internet and how that power is being wielded.

User Mag will arrive via email 1-3 times a week, and paid subscribers will have commenting privileges, access to subscriber-only chats, and will receive exclusive, deep-dive analysis pieces among other benefits. It will include a mix of originally reported articles, interviews, and links to what I’m reading and watching online.

Please consider buying a yearly subscription at the link below to help me continue my work! 🙏🏻

I’ll still be doing my weekly tech and online culture news podcast, Power User, available on all platforms. (If you're a brand that would like to advertise on my podcast or collaborate in any way, please reach out on hello@usermag.co!!)
