Mediaboss Marketing

Hello, Im Lauren Rae Orsini, though most people just call me Lauren. I prefer to use my full name online to avoid being confused with any of the other Lauren Orsinis of the world. Im twenty-five.

Im a full time reporter and graphics specialist atThe Daily Dot. I specialize in new and emergent online communities. Read some of my favorite storieshere.

I recently finished a semester as anadjunct professorat American University, where I taught HTML, CSS and general Web skills to undergraduate journalism majors, despite sometimes being mistaken for one myself.

I have a Masters degree in Journalism from American University. (For more on my educational background, please refer to myresume.) The tenets of journalism that I learned in school have remained my life philosophy: Be curious. Be honest. Be bold.

I like anime, but I love fandom. I am in awe of people who proudly nurture their obsessions. Im always looking for new people like that to interview. My favorite thing to do is to attend and cover anime and geek conventions in the US. My best of list includes Anime Boston, Anime USA, and Otakon. If youd like to invite me to cover your convention, contact mehere.

Ive been fortunate to have some great opportunities to combine geekiness and writing. Ive been an intern forKotaku, a writer forJapanatorandCon-News, and a blogger forAnime BostonandAnime USA. While I am in the business of giving interviews to other people, I never turn down a chance to be interviewed myself. Imlauren@otakujournalist.com.

I live in Pentagon City with my fianc, John.
