Warzel’s portfolio includes, “The 140-Character-or-Less Campaign,” “Overdosing on HuffPost Live,” and “Are Table-Only Publications Dead?”

Over the weekend, he had a brilliant idea: “what if we just shut down twitter on the weekends…”

Featured journalist: Danny Sullivan

Today’s featured Muck Racker is Danny Sullivan, founding editor at SearchEngineLand.com.

He covers Google, Facebook, Twitter, SEO, SEM, and all things digital marketing, search marketing and search. Since he started covering search engines in late 1995, we believe the man knows what he’s doing. 

To prove it, Sullivan’s been quoted everywhere from the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, Forbes, The New Yorker and Newsweek, and even on ABC’s Nightline.

The Orange County resident became a journalist because “I like to know about things, I’m very curious, and journalists have permission to ask and a job of explaining.” He’d appreciate it if you pitched him in the morning.

Featured journalist: Anna Tarkov

Today’s featured journalist is Anna Tarkov, a reporter with Pioneer Press Chicago. She calls herself a “journalism free agent with no salary cap.”

Tarkov is often frustrated, always cynical, and thinks about media A LOT. It makes sense since she covers everything from digital and social media, journalisms both citizen and interactive, as well as politics and Chicago.  

Her portfolio includes: “Journalism needs pollinators,” “Patch by the numbers,” and “Journatic worker takes ‘This American Life’ inside outsourced journalism.”

Based in Chicago, Tarkov believes a journalist is a professional explainer. As such, she’s always interested in being followed by people who may be impressed by what she does and, subsequently, hiring her to write for their publication. So go ahead and get in touch right over here.
