MXDWN

From December 2024 to January 2025, I freelanced as a News Writer for the music section of MXDWN, an online entertainment magazine that focuses on news, original reviews, features, photography and interviews. In this role, I covered entertainment and music-related news. I worked twice a week, producing four articles each day, all due the same night. In this fast-paced environment, I wrote about topics such as the controversial TikTok ban, the Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal, upcoming performances and events and case updates. Working remotely with a team of editors, I gained a more well-rounded music journalism portfolio and strengthened my ability to work under extremely tight deadlines.
