High-profile Journalist Taylor Lorenz sent shockwaves across the industry when she announced that she's leaving The Washington Post to become a full-time independent journalist.
The now former WaPo digital culture columnist revealed her career change in an introductory post on her new media outlet, User Magazine, via Substack. Lorenz wrote that following the internet and the media's evolution, "it has become clear to me that legacy media is not the right primary environment for the kind of work that I want to do."
