DAW
Writer, editor, journalist & pop culture enthusiast.
Hiya!
I’m Stephen Daw — the title of this website might have given that away — and I’ve turned an obsessive personality into a career as an award-winning entertainment & culture journalist. I’ve spent the past 10+ years in the media industry and am currently seeking my next opportunity.
I graduated from the University of Missouri (MIZ, baby) in 2013 with a Bachelor of Journalism degree. Since then, I’ve been writing stories about various cultural phenomena with major media brands like Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Tonight, and Radio Times. Whether it’s long-form investigative reporting, in-depth profiles, fast-paced breaking news coverage, essays, trend pieces, op-eds, or live event coverage, I have written and edited it all.
