Career
Dylan-Robbins began her career at Tumblr as its editorial video lead. [11] With journalist Jessica Bennett and media executive Chris Mohney, [12] she covered subcultures, news, and trends among the platform's 475 million blogs for its online magazine, Storyboard, [13] while partnering with media outlets like Time [14] and WNYC. [15]
In 2013, she was hired by The New Yorker’s Nicholas Thompson to produce the magazine's video series [16] and short documentaries. Dylan-Robbins worked at the magazine when video was becoming the focus of media outlets as a tool for growth and developed The New Yorker’s video strategy. [17] During her four years at the magazine, Dylan-Robbins reported [4] on a range of topics from the rise of e-cigarettes [18] and the overuse of c-sections [19] to California's deadly drought [20] and psilocybin’s healing effects on the terminally ill. [21] [22] She helped migrate the magazine onto emerging platforms like Snapchat [23] to reach a younger audience.
In 2017, Dylan-Robbins left the magazine for NBC to help launch a new video initiative under the umbrella of NBC News. [24] She worked across digital, streaming, and broadcast departments, [25] reporting on stories in America, [26] [27] Japan, [28] Italy, [29] and the Balkans. [30] She worked at NBC exactly forty years after her mother, Ellie Dylan, was at the network, [31] which inspired Dylan-Robbins to use old segments from her mother's reportage and feature them to show changing trends across the decades. [32] [33] While at The New Yorker, Dylan-Robbins founded the Video Consortium, [3] a 501(c)3-registered nonprofit network that supports, develops, and connects the next generation of video journalists and documentary filmmakers with resources, tools, and jobs. [34] The network has chapters around the world. [35] [36] [37] [38] Dylan-Robbins serves as its Executive Director.
Dylan-Robbins is recognized for her media innovation and was chosen by Forbes magazine as a 30 under 30 in the Media category. [39] She has received numerous journalism accolades, including Pictures of the Year International, [40] New York Press Club, [41] the Newswomen's Club of New York, [42] the James Beard Foundation, [43] and the Society of Publication Designers. [44] She won a Webby Award in 2013 for her work with Storyboard. [45]
