Monica Castillo starts a new job today as film writer for Watching, the New York Times’ new film and television site and streaming newsletter.
She’ll be recommending movies to stream from platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Netflix.
“I’ve enjoyed watching the growth of streaming platforms as a way to make movies more accessible to viewers around the country and internationally,” she tells Media Moves. “Now it’s figuring out what to watch from all these possibilities, and I’m excited to be a part of a team dedicated to answering that question.”
TV editor Gilbert Cruz oversees the NYT’s “what-to-watch guide.”
Monica recently finished a Specialized Journalism Master’s at USC Annenberg. She previously worked as an entertainment reporter at International Business Times.
Her work has been published in several media outlets, including the Village Voice, LA Weekly, NPR, The Boston Globe, Cosmopolitan, RogerEbert.com, Remezcla, and Paste Magazine.
