Dance of Art Journalism | Margaret Fuhrer

The Background Dancer

Is journalism dead? What is the most trusted form of media today? While there isn’t a definitive answer, one company comes admirably close. Dance Media Publications is a multi-varied media platform that covers dance like no other and has been consistently delivering engaging content to the most dancers, dance professionals and dance lovers globally. Among its many satellite publications, the Dance Edit podcast stands out as a prominent voice for daily news and updates revolving around the world of dance.
Margaret Fuhrer was formerly the Editor in Chief and Producer of the Dance Edit Podcast. A journalism graduate from NYU, her writing has been published on esteemed platforms such as The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and The Brooklyn Rail. Margaret has also worked on other Dance Media outlets such as the Dance Spirit, Pointe and the Dance Magazine, the latter in which she now devotes her work to as Features Editor. Best of all, she is the author of the book American Dance: The Complete Illustrated History, published in 2014.
Kickstarting a brand new season and month of Dance Media, this episode uncovers the secrets of pursuing a career in journalism and ambition to work for the best media companies in the arts. Ready to discover the journalist within you? Join us as we foreground dance in the background!
