In as little as a decade, fashion media has transformed and grown, thanks to technological advances that allow us to have constant audience interaction at our fingertips. However, as new platforms emerge that make fashion even more accessible, the rules for covering the industry are changing.
What type of stories matter to editors and readers? What does it take to succeed as a journalist in the age of social media? Is traditional story pitching still effective? Mark your calendar for Tuesday, July 31 @ 6 PM to discover answers to these and many more relevant questions, when local fashion media experts join forces to discuss and help clarify the current state of fashion media.
