Helen is an award-winning columnist and editor who understands the ever-evolving world of online media—how it drives viewers and creates interactive journalism that is informative and engaging.
On her LinkedIn profile, you may read that she played “a key role in doubling audience traffic and generating approximately 730k page views daily for the Tech channel of Forbes.com by spotting and analyzing trends, seeing how they fit into the big picture, developing and launching several news verticals and establishing new areas of consumer-facing tech coverage”.
Don’t ask her in emails whether she is going to publish a press release—remember that Helen is the deputy editor and that is not her role. Perhaps she can forward your news to the editorial team if she finds it interesting.
