In this episode Joe Anuta, a journalist for POLITICO New York provides his cheat codes on how he broke into the journalism world in New York City, finds unique angles to stories, develops sources (which is apparently incredibly important and tricky) and thrives. Prior to joining POLITICO New York in February 2019, Joe spent five years writing about real estate and housing policy for Crain’s New York Business. Joe got his start covering New York City government as a local reporter for the Brooklyn Paper in its namesake borough and later for TimesLedger Newspapers in Queens. He is from Indiana, earned degrees in English and journalism at Penn State University and now lives in Brooklyn.
