Hypable also benefited immensely from the coverage and exclusives I was able to produce, largely because of these people’s kindness. And I only hope I was able to pay it forward, in whatever limited capacity I could.
Johnson, Aaron Ginsburg, Richard Harmon, Jo Garfein, Tiffany Vogt, Sachin Sahel and Sabrina Hutchinson.Ī story is a story, but the real human kindness you have shown me, and your willingness to let me into a space I was often made to feel I didn’t belong to, gave me an invaluable sense of confidence that I have been able to use to advance my career, within and beyond entertainment journalism. Most especially Jason and Joy Rothenberg, Kim Shumway, B.A.
So it is important to thank all the people who didn’t do this who opened a door for me along the way, or vouched for me, or drew attention to my work. I know I wasn’t the only young female entertainment journalist trying to break into the industry by covering this show, only to encounter gatekeeper after gatekeeper who blatantly tried to shut the doors in my face. I even moderated panels at a handful of them. I started going to (and came to understand the point of) fan conventions. I was a 20-something Danish girl just out of Journalism school, and I had no idea that picking up The 100 on a whim would take me as far as it did. I fell in love with it almost instantly and started covering it for Hypable, because I wanted to help others find it and fall in love with it too. I started watching it by mistake, because I had gotten it mixed up with The Tomorrow People, which I had actually been assigned (and never did end up watching).
My own journey with The 100 sure has been an interesting one.
