On this episode of The Journalism Salute, Mark Simon is joined by Justine Harman. Justine is a journalist and podcaster and current host of the podcast Killed. Killed is a podcast about journalism that gets … killed … for a variety of reasons. Season 2 from Audiochuck is currently ongoing. It’s ranked among the most downloaded podcasts in Seasons 1 and 2.
We talked about Justine’s former career as a magazine writer and editor (she still does freelance work) at Elle and Glamour, and how she works to make celebrity features (like one she did on Jessica Chastain) be more than just a typical story.
We then discussed the origin story for Killed, along with one example of the kinds of pieces the podcast touches on – a story that has had trouble getting published about a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers who believes he was cut because he had a white girlfriend.
Justine also provided advice for those interested in working for fashion magazines and also for those interested in writing for podcasts.
Justine’s salute: New York Magazine.
