Callie Schweitzer is the youngest professional I have yet to
feature, but her age does not diminish her accomplishments. If anything, it
enhances them. Schweitzer is the
25 year old Director of Digital
Innovation at TIME Magazine. She is also an award winning journalist whose
work has appeared in TIME, The New York Times, Mashable, The Huffington Post,
People magazine and The Daily Muse to name a few.
Schweitzer began her career by receiving a BA in journalism
from the University of Southern California’s
Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. During her time here Schweitzer
was involved in a variety of experiences that provided her with professional
work. She worked as the Editor-in-Chief of Neon Tommy, an online news site
hosted by her university and the most frequently visited online university
publication in the U.S. Schweitzer also
was copy editing intern at the New York Times as well as a writer and reporter
for People magazine.
When Schweitzer graduated in 2011, her career took off. Upon her
graduation Schweitzer took a position at Talking Points Memo, a liberal web-based political journalism organization, where she worked her way up to Deputy Publisher.
Afterwards she took a position as the Director of Marketing and Communications
at Vox Media where she handled branding tactics for websites such as SB
Nation, The Verge, and Polygon. She now holds her newest position at TIME, and
all these experiences combined have allowed her to win two Hearst Journalism
Awards.
Schweitzer’s career is far
from over, and it can only be expected that she will continue to grow as an influential
woman in the world of tech and journalism. To follow Schweitzer’s career and
