Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Food blogger Jessica van Dop DeJesus at work.
It used to be that if you wanted to find a good meal in the Washington area, you turned to a handful of local critics.
But that model has been exploded by legions of food bloggers and photographers in recent years. Sometimes they write traditional reviews online. But more often, they offer more streamlined opinion — a beautiful picture and a few words on a fabulous food experience they want to share.
We’ll peek behind the curtain of food blogging and photography. What makes a blog or Instagram account successful? Where is the line between influencer and a promoter?
