JAWS NY Group Event: Grow Your Reach With Journalist Anna Medaris
Anna Medaris
Looking for ways to stretch the reach of your work or career? Stuck in a rut doing the same old? Join us on July 24 as the JAWS NY Group and the local chapter of the Association of Health Care Journalists co-host a lively conversation with health and lifestyle journalist Anna Medaris.
Anna will share personal stories and tips on how to consistently grow the range of your work, whether it's jumping into a new niche, reframing a topic for a new audience, connecting with elusive editors and producers, or finding non-journalistic work that values your skills. Anna has long leaned into her diverse interests, covering everything from a pole-dancing competition for the Washington Post to her own breakup for Cosmopolitan, to timely reproductive health news for Business Insider.
Since becoming a full-time freelancer in 2023, she's been thinking even more expansively for clients like New York Magazine, the American Psychological Association, AARP, and Vox. She also coaches aspiring writers, leads workshops for PR professionals, and is ghostwriting a book chapter.
WHEN: Thursday, July 24, 2025, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Crain's New York Business, 685 Third Avenue (entrance is on 44th Street)
