The Pop-Litical Buzz

Where pop culture & politics meet

The Pop-Litical Buzz

Role: Founder & Editor-in-Chief

What is The Pop-Litical Buzz?

The Pop-Litical Buzz is a Gen-Z centered publication I created dedicated to covering U.S. pop culture, politics, and how the two overlap. Our goal is to keep readers in the know of the latest pop culture and politics news, events, and releases in addition to featuring emerging and key players and sharing stories that examine influence and power.

Why I founded TPB?

An idea first born out of the Kamala is Brat phenomena, I founded The Pop-Litical Buzz out of a desire to see more coverage of how pop culture and politics intersect. That desire came from a me being chronically online, covering both beats for outlets, having a political science background, and wanting to see pop culture taken as serious as politics.

What I do as EIC?

As editor-in-chief I lead a team of remote writers, edit their work, lead the overall editorial direction of the publication, and manage the website and CMS. Additionally, I create and schedule the social media posts for the articles.
