I'm Palmer Haasch, a culture writer based in New York City.
My work has been published at Polygon, Thrillist, The Verge, IGN, and GLAAD. I'm currently a junior digital culture reporter at Insider. I write about online communities, entertainment, and anything that people are obsessed with and talking about on the internet. Right now, I predominately cover TikTok culture at Insider. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in English and French Studies. As a student, I conducted original research into the significance of real person fanfiction in fandom. Read some of my work below. |
