The Ultimate Reading And Podcast List For Women in Media by GirlBoss Media
As the digital content strategist and founder of SW Projects, Sara Wilson has an essential piece of advice for media professionals: Carve out time to stay current with your business news. This practice has led the journalist-turned-strategist to excel at the likes of Facebook, MTV, People, The Economist, and The Huffington Post.
“I try to spend at least 1-2 hours each weekday combing through industry newsletters, and at least one full afternoon on a weekend to catch up on my Pocket list—where I save articles throughout the week,” she says. When she’s in the car she catches up on biz news by tuning into podcasts. In true strategist form, Wilson has a podcast listening system that not only keeps her engaged, but gives her a platform to organize the content she’s consuming into something useful.
“To prevent myself from zoning out while listening, I started a series called Podcast Pullquotes on my @sw.projects Instagram where I post quotes from the podcasts that resonated with me most,” she says.
No surprise, she has a killer recommendation list. So, Girlboss Media tapped the media all-star to share her top picks for newsletters, podcasts, and books to keep you on top of your business game, whether you’re curious about all things content or a rising media player.
