Jenny Holland
writer and critic; former assistant, New York Times; author, Saving Culture (from itself) Substack

Jenny Holland is an Irish-American, gen X, former media journeyman and speechwriter who now writes Saving Culture (from itself) on Substack, and is a frequent contributor to spiked.

Her first job in the news business was as an assistant at the New York Times, in the years immediately before the digital revolution, which was a bit like being one of the last people to board the lifeboats on the Titanic. Twenty years on, she frequently writes about watching the ship sink, from her small dinghy in the north Atlantic. She lives in Northern Ireland with her husband, teenage son and two dogs.
