Doug welcomes freelance journalist Alyson Krueger, who has written thousands of pieces for outlets including The New York Times, and recently launched the widely acclaimed Substack The Great Conversation. They discuss what modern journalism has become, how freelancing works through pitching and editor assignments, and how voice and objectivity differ across publications, and versus Substack’s unfiltered, direct-to-reader model. Alyson shares her path from international relations and events in London to NYU journalism school, and selling her early Times pieces through networking, coachability, and charisma.
