How do you keep a separation between journalism and marketing when writing about a niche? Rowan can help you with that, like she did at Rascal for tabletop roleplaying games.   "I graduated high school into Donald Trump's election and then I graduated college into the pandemic. Every major life milestone that I've had has been disrupted by some big unprecedented event. And I'm like, all right, well, I guess everything's gonna burn. So I might as well build something up from the ashes while it's burning. So that way when everything else is gone, I have something."   Rowan Zeoli is the co-founder of Rascal, an independent, worker-owned outlet for journalism about tabletop roleplaying games and the people who make them. Rowan covers the intersection of progressive thought and niche cultural movements, which you can find in outlets like Polygon, Tripsitter, Autostraddle, and The Fandomentals. She is also co-founder of the convention/non-profit WriteHive.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.
