HOLLIE BERMAN
Social Media Editor
Journalist
Hi, I'm Hollie.
I am an award-winning Social Media Editor at The Economist,
delivering content to nearly 60 million followers across platforms daily. I sometimes also write for The Economist and1843 Magazine, mostly about social media and digital culture. You can view my portfolio here.
Previous bylines include this piece for The Sunday Times Magazine,
on how the digital age has shaped the experience of Britain's university students. During my time at university I edited The Tab Cambridge, where my reporting was picked up by The Times and The Daily Mail. I also created the Facebook platform Crushbridge, a "lonely hearts" university page which even charmed its way into a column in The Times.
Here you can find an overview of my writing and previous experience, and use the contact form at the bottom of this page to get in touch. You can also find me on Twitter (a little too frequently).
