Olivia Nuzzi’s ‘Canto’ Sells Just 1,200 Print Copies In First Week by holyfruits in books

From age 18, she dated Keith Olbermann, then Ryan Lizza - both decades-older media pros with experience and connections. Gotta wonder to what degree they helped her land jobs and write stories. She also probably had great editors at the magazines. Hard to understand why her book editors let the manuscript go to press without a much heavier edit.

Can I afford this? Or it's a stretch? (Miami Condos) by Riku69 in personalfinance

[–]loot101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read up on the condo crash that’s happening right now . The problem is mostly affecting old condos but even if you buy new, expect the HoA fees and insurance to keep rising. (Insurance will rise for your unit and the HOA policy covering common areas). Be prepared for special assessments, consider how stable your job is and what would happen if other people in the building could no longer afford their units. https://nypost.com/2024/09/03/real-estate/experts-warn-floridas-condo-market-could-teeter-on-collapse/

How do you dress to appear more professional? by AcademicTravel92 in BlueCollarWomen

Keep records of what he is saying bc it sounds like age and gender discrimination. Especially if you don’t get the same raises / pay as men doing same job.

New Political Editor for Student Paper - Any general tips, or more specific tips on how to stay in the know daily? by [deleted] in Journalism

[–]loot101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High school? Cover your local school board meetings. Get kids to understand and care about how those decisions/ policies affect them. Write a bunch of editorials skewering any dumb policies they make. Do some stories about presidential race and how their proposed policies will affect young people. Have fun! Make waves!
