My Take
What fascinates me about Taylor Lorenz is that she reports on internet culture from inside the machine she critiques. Leaving the gravitational pull of legacy giants like the Washington Post and the New York Times to build something independent took real conviction, and her 2023 book on fame, influence, and online power reads like a field report from someone who has studied the beast up close. She draws fierce reactions, but I tend to respect any journalist who refuses to stand at a safe distance. To me she is a useful, unsettling mirror for how attention now works.
