“Food journalists rarely limit their interests to what’s for dinner. Covering food invariably includes culture, communities, history, and even science. Food freelancers cover industry shakeups as well as recipes, building careers that span book publishing and media leadership. Join this panel of accomplished editors and independent journalists to learn how they’ve built unique and rewarding careers following food — and how you too can become a contributor to the Guardian, COYOTE, the Food Section, Ravenous, and others.”
