Taylor Lorenz is a New York Times writer covering tech culture and online creators. She was a Knight Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard University where she focused on Instagram and news consumption. And she's appeared on just about every big show talking about internet culture.
I started reading Taylor's coverage of the creator world four years ago when she was at The Atlantic. That's when I writing about influencers for Forbes. At the time, she was the only other person that I saw focusing exclusively on creators.
Now, every major platform has devoted reporters (or sometimes, entire departments) covering the space. But Taylor was there in the beginning.
We talked about the creator economy, TikTok entrepreneurs, how the business has changed and what she thinks the future for creators will look like.
She's on leave from the New York Times and is currently writing a book about creators. I can't wait to read it!
After the YouTube interview, we hopped over to Spotify Greenroom to do a Q and A session. I love that platform!
Check it out. It's like Clubhouse but better. And I will be doing all of my interviews live on there, so you don't want to miss them!
