In this episode, I talk to Adriana Lacy, an award winning journalist and consultant based in Boston, Massachusetts, about her work and career. She is the founder and president of Adriana Lacy Consulting: a full service digital consulting firm helping publishers and businesses to grow their digital audiences.

I was joined in this episode by Danny Parker, then a PhD candidate at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Danny’s research examines the role communication ecologies play in the reproduction of poverty, and the development of political identity. As an ethnographer, she chronicles the lived experiences of extremely impoverished rural and urban communities by living among them and documenting their everyday lives.

She taught English as a second language for seven years before pursuing her PhD.

Her career spans various prestigious publications throughout the United States, notably the New York Times, Politico, and the Los Angeles Times, where she made history as the inaugural black opinion columnist.

Her work has been featured and published in various anthologies.
