aliya s king consider me a content provider i write you read no pressure come as you please i m here aliya s king consider me a content provider i write you read no pressure come as you please i m here the end of the biggie belt saga march 9 2009 by aliya s king if you followed the saga of the biggie belt then you know i m a bit of a geek about the whole thing i want to find the belt don t even know why i m obsessed over it it s silly really so what big gave riggs morales a belt and told him to leave it hung up on a nail in the offices at the source and riggs told me when i moved in and i told jermaine when he moved in and jermaine told thomas when he moved in and on and on and on the legend of the biggie belt seems to end when the source moved offices no one can remember if the belt was packed up and brought to the new office honestly i don t believe that i can t imagine people packing up the source and not making sure they knew exactly where the belt was i firmly believe that someone took the belt either before the source moved or while they were in the process at any rate it s gone read the rest of this entry posted in uncategorized 25 comments flashback friday the biggie belt january 16 2009 by aliya s king this story on b i g the first national press he received was published in the source and it was written by one of my favorite source a teamers chris wilder i wonder if big s wearing the biggie belt here in the winter of 1999 i was promoted at the source from staff writer to associate music editor honestly i was less then excited about the new title all i wanted to do was write not edit but after changes at the top i had no choice there was no longer a budget for a free spirited thinker to travel the country and write whatever she wanted to i could still cover stories but i d have to edit and assign some stuff too the best part of my promotion i was moving out of the projects read the rest of this entry posted in flashback friday 57 comments dear aliya two jobs what do i do february 25 2022 by aliya s king discovered in my inbox hey aliya love your blog will send something for your pitch me column soon in the meantime i need advice badly graduated in may from redacted university with a degree in journalism mass communication for nine months looking for a job in the meantime i have been fake interning at an entertainment magazine a pull out supplement in the sunday paper in my hometown i don t get paid i was an official intern when i was in college i am just here so i can keep my face visible for when a job does become available i work in several different departments i do get to write a little i even work in the design department sometimes which is great because i feel like i m learning lots of different things i kept hearing rumors that the editor in chief s assistant was moving and that he would be looking for a new assistant but i never saw a job listing and no one seemed to know anything definitive i applied for two editorial assistant jobs at very well known magazines one job is at my ultimate dream magazine i was pretty sure i didn t have a chance but thats the job i would kill for anyway last week the editor in chief at my current job finally asked me to apply to be his assistant seven other people applied and i got the job i accepted the job and my start date is set for april 1 two days later i got a call from redacted magazine my dream job i was offered a position as an editorial assistant the salary is 15 000 higher at my dream job and it s manhattan i currently live about 100 miles outside of nyc i had already taken the other job but i still said yes immediately to the new job now i have to quit a job i haven t even started yet the staff there has known me since i was an intern two years ago and everyone is nice and friendly i know i will burn a bridge forever and this is my hometown so i will see these people my parents and my college professor told me i need to keep the job i accepted and that is wrong to do anything else what would you do i really want this other job i know you are busy and by the time you write me back i might already have made a decision but i d like to get your thoughts on this situation anyway thanks you nott marealname here s my answer to nott well an expanded version of my answer read the rest of this entry posted in dear aliya 32 comments a conversation with john lee july 16 2020 by aliya s king crispus attucks first patriot killed in boston massacre march 6 1770 by herschel levit it was 2000 the tech bubble was swelling i was working at a print magazine and my co workers were leaving in droves to internet startups ubo volume 360 hookt bet com the web was the future print was dead come to the internets or you won t have a job i resisted i like the feel of magazines in my hand still do although the internets have me publishing more content in the past sixty days then i have in print in the past year but that s another story one day someone told me to log onto a website http www urbanexpose com someone with inside information was throwing up stories about the new urban websites and the print media as well and it wasn t pretty the tone was scathing and sometimes downright mean the stories were packed with inside information on what was happening at all of the urban media sites and magazines and there was a uniform way of posting photos of subjects as disembodied heads that made everyone they covered look weird and goofy what really struck me was that all of urban media s secrets were being exposed the things we talked about in bars at night over drinks the things we whispered about in staff meetings the juicy gossip who was getting fired who was sleeping with whom which magazines were being shut down all of that was being published on a website using people s real names it set off a maelstrom people couldn t figure out who was behind the site but it quickly became addictive if you worked in the industry in the year 2000 you know you logged on to urban expose every single day twice a day or more after a year it was over the man who posted as crispus attucks revealed himself to be john lee a former hacker from brooklyn i never knew anything about lee or why he started the site in the first place i spoke with him recently to get some insight lee s complete story was new to me i didn t know that he was the first black kid on the cover of wired magazine in a story on his hacking crew i didn t know he d served time for hacking his life before urbanexpose is fascinating i spoke with john lee aka john threat about his backstory why he looked at urban expose as an experiment and how much urbanexpose was worth at its height happy crispus attucks day read the rest of this entry

they publish it december 1 2009 by aliya s king from my in box dear aliya your site is a great resource for new freelancers thanks for offering your advice and experiences i have a query i m still a student but starting my career as a young journalist based in new york i have a regular gig with a prominent website but recently i had my first foray with print i wrote up my pitch and sent it in to a national weekly call it beginners luck but they bought it soon afterwards i know things can move slowly with a magazine and that editors can sit on stories for as long as they want they can even enact the dreaded kill fee i recently filed the story and to be honest i don t know anything about its current status is there anyway to know if a story is being sat on or whether its death is being contemplated thanks much i hope to hear your advice alex ____________________________________________________________________________________ what i love about my blog is that when i hear from new
