Rachel Kaufman, freelance reporter

I'm an interrogator of gargoyle lovers, frog fondlers, and the eternal optimists saving the news industry. These are some of the stories I've written.

I slay myself.

Updated the site today with a piece from last week’s Getting Ahead (aka the section I edit, aka “my baby,” aka “I love this thing probably far more than necessary.”) What didn’t make it onto the site is a headline I wrote for another freelancer’s Change Artist piece. The guy’s a tour guide in D.C., and though he doesn’t literally drive people around, he keeps ‘em in line and gets them on and off the bus expediently.

My oh-so-brilliant headline? “Herder Capital.” I have the maturity of an 8-year-old, I swear.

(Yes, it’s cheesy, but I’m still cracking myself up a week later! I’m so proud…and disgusted.)
