@Andrew_MuckRack You mentioned last September that this functionality would be delivered "soon." It's damaging to our reputations to have erroneous bylines attributed to us. When will we have the ability to address this without tweeting you or messaging your team?

@JoniSweet Apologies that happened again @JoniSweet - we've fixed it and will forward your feedback again on to the team as they look into adding the ability for journalists to manage their own automated links.

@Andrew_MuckRack MuckRack continues to link to stories I didn't write on my profile. Within the last couple of weeks, at least 3 stories were falsely attributed to me, including the one at the top of my profile now. Why do you refuse to let journalists edit their own profiles?
Andrew Mercier@Andrew_MuckRack

@JoniSweet @muckrack While you're not currently able to make those adjustments it's something the team will look at in the near term. For now, are there any outlets this tends to happen with? The best thing would be to fix the root cause. Feel free to DM or email me directly.

Is there an app I can use to temporarily pause incoming voice notes? Sometimes I can text, but can't do a voice note, and I'd like my contacts to know when they should avoid sending me one.

@MarissaWanders Some reporters are way too precious about this. I don’t always have time to draft full questions before an interview, but I’ve found if I send over bulleted talking points, that’s enough for the source to prep with, and they come into the interview way more confident.

@JoniSweet I love this. It actually makes our job a lot easier, too, because the source is prepared with better responses! Expecting quote-worthy responses off the cuff from sources with little media training (if any) is just more work for me in the end. Send the damn questions lol

For 2025, let’s normalize sending interview questions or at least talking points in advance (for most stories). It’s a way to help sources feel more comfortable and deliver better quotes. Let's get real: Most of us aren’t working on front-page exposés every day, and that’s OK.

My two cats made their editorial debut in my review of self-cleaning litter boxes for Best Products! I wonder if they can be considered a tax deduction this year...🤔 bestproducts.com/lifestyle/pets…

Wow, imagining likening someone trying to make a living to “a dog with a frisbee.” This is so disrespectful and I will never work with an editor who speaks to writers this way when requesting pitches.
Jill Schildhouse jillschildhouse.substack.com@JillSchildhouse

Imagine being the editor of a magazine and calling freelancers — you know, the talented professionals you rely on to create your product — DOGS in your plea for pitches. Disgusting. I hope he receives zero pitches (and wait til you find out he pays pennies!). #media #journalism

Usually by this time of year, I've received several emails from editors thanking me for my hard work over the last year. This year? None. Not one. I'm not taking it personally, but I think it says a lot about the current state of the industry.

@JoniSweet In an already conversationally anemic industry (how are we so quiet when we have to talk to people for living?), I do agree the crickets seem to be getting louder (or quieter?). I hope you have a great holiday, and here's to editors being more gregarious and proactive in 2025!

@ashley_writes_ I rarely offer email interviews for a million reasons, AI responses being one of them.

Writers + journalists, is it just me, or are y'all getting a ton of AI-generated responses from doctors/therapists/experts? Maybe I'm naive but I really didn't expect it to be this bad!

One of my favorite things about writing gift guides is sharing them with the brands and creators I cover. So much joy in these exchanges!
