This week’s Polygamer podcast is the audio from the PAX East panel "+1 to Journalism: Becoming a Better Writer", held on Sunday, March 12, 2017, 4:00–5:00 PM in Bobcat Theatre.
What do you need to know to make it as a games journalist? What pitches do editors love to get, and what tropes have been done to death? Whether you’re helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions, unearthing the history of a franchise, or critiquing video games as art, you have to convey a lot of meaning in just a few words before the reader clicks away. Come hear veteran writers and editors share the best in games journalism and our own mistakes we’ve made along the way.
Featuring:
- Susan Arendt [Executive Editor, GamesRadar+]
- Jonathan Holmes [Writer, Destructoid & Nintendo Force]
- Ken Gagne [Digital Content Developer, Gamebits]
- Alexander Sliwinski [COO, Bithell Games]
