Rachel Sklar is the Editor-at-Large for Mediaite.com, a new site about media and its overlap with politics, tech, business, sports and pop culture. She is the former Senior Contributing Editor for the Huffington Post and was the founding editor of the site's Eat The Press page. She has contributed to the New York Times, the Village Voice, Glamour, New York Magazine, the Financial Times, and numerous publications in her northern homeland of Canada, and is a frequent guest on networks including CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, with varying degrees of makeup.
Rachel recently launched the online charity site Charitini.com, which promotes micro-giving by allowing donors to substitute a small charitable donation for a "birthday drink" for a friend. She tried it for her birthday and woke up the next day with great karma and no hangover. Get her all liquored up for a good cause here.
Rachel is the author of A Stroke of Luck: Life, Crisis and Rebirth of a Stroke Survivor (with Howard Rocket, Canada: 1998), a contributor to several anthologies and is currently working on Jew-ish, a humorous book about cultural identity. She was recently named to Heeb magazine's "Heeb 100," Chatelaine magazine's "Canadian Women to Watch" and the Globe & Mail's "Ten Famous Canadians You've Never Heard Of," which she thinks was a compliment. She was formerly a corporate lawyer in New York and Stockholm, where she never learned to like herring.
