Book Reviews of The Gawker Guide to Conquering All Media
Book Review: The Gawker Guided Me
Summary: 5 Stars
The Gawker Guide to Conquering All Media was the perfect present.
I recently moved to New York and got the job of my dreams, working in media. I had the enthusiasm, the motivation, and the eagerness to learn. What I didn't have was The Gawker Guide to Conquering All Media.
An experienced colleague slid the book across my desk, and told me it
was a top priority read. I read this miracle in one day, and still sleep
with it under my pillow.
Now I pass it forward and recommend circulating it through your offices.
If you're starting out in any facet of media, this work will be your Bible; and if you've been in the business for a while, or are interested in shifting your line of work, it will be refreshing.
It's a witty, quick read, yet substantive, as one would expect from Gawker
writers. Amazing that they actually covered so many aspects of media.
The Guide answers important questions like "Who's More Powerful - Assistant Editor or Editorial Assistant?"
Media is my life. The following quote from the book assures me that I am
not alone:
"If one day you're successful to the point where your pills and personal
staff are the closest friends you have, congrats. This book has served you well, and we've done our job." (xi)
Exactly.
Summary of The Gawker Guide to Conquering All Media

While yanking back the curtain on the media elite, The Gawker Guide reveals the secrets of emailing like a mogul, posing for the paparazzi, decoding "agent speak," spotting the next bestseller, landing that holy grail assignment, boosting blog traffic, navigating the six cocktail evening, and all the other weapons readers need to climb high -- and stay there.
"I came, I saw, I conquered. With this book, I could've done it quicker."
