Ada’s List meetup on 29th July with Ann Friedman
A few months ago, we started our monthly coffee meet-ups in London so our members could get to know one another in real life. They’ve been going really well and it’s always a morning well-spent for all of us who attend.
We are thrilled therefore to be making this even more of a memorable event in July, when we will have Ann Friedman, whose Shine Theory we love, come along to our meetup. She’s visiting London from the US, and she’s kindly agreed to talk to us about all she thinks and does.
Ann is a magazine journalist who loves the internet. She writes a regular column about politics, culture, and gender for NYmag.com. She also contributes to The New Republic, NewYorker.com, ELLE, The Guardian, Los Angeles magazine, Newsweek, The Gentlewoman, and lots of other publications. She makes hand-drawn pie charts every week for The Hairpin and dispense advice to journalists at theColumbia Journalism Review.
Ann used to be the executive editor of GOOD. (More about her editing experience here.) After she was fired along with her colleagues in 2012, they created a crowd-funded magazine called Tomorrow, which was nominated for an Utne Independent Media Award for general excellence. The Columbia Journalism Review named Ann one of 20 women to watch.
Ann sends out a weekly newsletter full of digital treats. Subscribe! You won’t regret it. If email isn’t your speed, there’s always Twitter and Facebook. Ann also does a lot of public speaking, mostly at journalism and design conferences.
When: 8 – 9.30am, 29th July, Tuesday
Where: Google Campus, 4-5 Bonhill St, London EC2A 4BX
If you’re an Ada’s List member and are able to come to the 29th July meetup, please sign up here so we can make sure we don’t overfill the venue. It’ll be an informal event with plenty of time for questions and chat.
See you then. In the meantime, catch up on the Shine Theory and ’Is he on the Island?’.
