Adweek, Here I Come!

Adweekannouncement

I have some very exciting news to share: I’ve accepted a position at Adweek, and will be writing about all things TV for the magazine and website beginning April 27. I’ve been freelancing for the website since last fall, started writing regularly for the magazine in February and have already made a few TV appearances on behalf of Adweek. I’ve loved contributing there so much, and couldn’t be more thrilled to have the chance to do it full-time.

As I focus all my energy on Adweek, especially with upfronts looming, that means I’ll be pulling back from my other freelance writing, especially at Quartz and The Daily Beast. I still plan on contributing to Emmy Magazine, and there are a couple other freelance stories that are already in the works and will pop up in the coming months. While I’ll miss writing for those other outlets, I’m thrilled to once again be able to focus all my energy on a single place, instead of splitting it among six different ones, as has been the case for much of the past two years.

So what does that mean for TV & Not TV? No need to worry: it will be business as usual here. I created this site last year so I could have a home for all my writing about TV and beyond, and that will continue, even as I write for one outlet instead of a half-dozen. So while you should certainly look for my writing over at Adweek, probably daily, you’ll still be able to find links to all my recent (and not-so-recent) stories here. I’ll also continue to keep track of my media appearances — which should increase with the new job — here as well. So if you’ve been visiting regularly since last December, I hope you’ll keep doing so.

I’m going to take a long-planned vacation next week — though I’ll have a few big Adweek stories posting during that time that I’m eager for you to see — and after that I’ll be diving right into my new job, just in time (gasp!) for upfronts.

Thanks for reading, and I can’t wait to share everything I have planned for Adweek.

Happy Three-Month Anniversary to Us!

It’s been three months since TV & Not TV launched, and we couldn’t be more thrilled by the response from all of you. We’re celebrating today with this delicious ice cream cake from our friends at Häagen-Dazs in NYC. If you’re in Manhattan and need a cake, check them out!

Thanks to all of you for reading us and helping us grow over these past three months. And if you haven’t done so already, be sure to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Welcome to TV & Not TV!

Hello, and thanks for finding me! I’m Jason Lynch, and welcome to my new site, TV & Not TV.

I write about television for so many outlets — sometimes four different ones in a single week (these days, you’re most likely to find my work at Adweek, Quartz and The Daily Beast, though I’ve previously written for Parade, The A.V. Club and several others). But unless you follow me on Twitter, there hasn’t been a way to keep track of all my stories.

Until now. I created TV & Not TV to compile my coverage of all things TV — and more — from my various outlets. Here you’ll find all my television and entertainment stories from the past two years. No matter how you watch/stream TV these days, here’s everything you need to know.

I expect that the majority of content here will be summarizing (and linking to) my stories for other outlets, but there will be some original pieces here as well. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, as well as the TV & Not TV Twitter feed and Facebook page, to make sure you don’t miss a thing!

I know it seems strange to be welcoming you to a site that already has almost 200 posts stretching back to last year, but I’ve been busy writing and backdating posts so you can now sort all of my stories and media appearances by outlet and topic. I’ve even compiled my favorite pieces. While I think I’ve caught almost all of the glitches, if you notice anything that needs fixing, please let me know.

Also, a big thank you goes out to Bill Kalpakoglou at VisionSpark for doing such a terrific job designing the site.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming….
