Earlier this week Freia started a Tech Internship at Mashable. Until she accepted this internship I had not heard of Mashable.
I checked it out and it was to put it mildly, Interesting. What I found even more interesting since I didn't know it existed, was that Snapchat had media channels. And Mashable was one of the digital publications that had their own channel on Mashable.
Freia's internship was to help with the Snapchat part of the technology section.She had her first article appear on Jan 5. It was about Soylent, a meal replacement product that Freia was a fan of and had used in the summer. The title unfortunately was non appetizing.
Soylent bounces back from diarrhea scandal with two new flavors
And that seems to be the style Mashable uses. Make the title sensational. Get the reader to click and give them a story that they can read through easily, without much use of the brain cells to think, unlike a New York Times article, which can sometimes be a tough read.
You should check out the new budding writer, aka sensational columnist or more accurately, "The Tech Intern" at:
