All-formats journalist / producer
Hi there! My name is Tulika Bose, and I’m a freelance New-York based multimedia science and tech journalist. Most recently, I’ve held consulting positions for The Juggernaut Magazine and New Lines Magazine, and have worked as an associate professor at Adelphi University. Before that, I worked the senior multimedia editor at Scientific American, where I worked on and helped oversee the cool stuff (science documentaries and podcasts.) Prior to that, I was on the special projects team at NowThis, the #1 brand on social, where I helped develop and concept new shows, helped build a 4+million TIkTok audience, and worked on stories about representation in science. Previously you might have seen me as a host and producer for Mashable, where I made documentaries and explainers at the the intersection of culture, technology, and entertainment. I’ve gotten to do some really important stories in this space — I’ve produced documentaries on hackers that use AI to game Tinder, women fighting back against nonconsensual media on Telegram, and the aftermath of journalist Linda Tirado’s shooting.
I also work to bring untold stories and unique perspectives to all of my work. Prior video work includes award-winning religion reporting for Newsday, stories about powerful women for viral storytelling outlet NowThisHer, and science reporting for BBC.com.
There isn’t anywhere that you can drop me where I won’t find a story. I’ve written about the late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington’s influence on death metal rocker kids in Nepal for VICE, a Simpson’s Animator’s experience with Turret’s syndrome for Upworthy, and a young vegan entrepreneur’s dream to make healthy food accessible for lower-income communities (later featured in the New York Times daily roundup.) Most importantly— as a reporter who works with social media to source and start conversations — I’m known for making content that people talk about.
I’m a comfortable all-formats reporter (or preditor, as we’re called!) and can shoot video, write, edit, and take photos. (Even help you with your podcast!) I work with the Sony FS7, a7 siii, and all canon DSLR systems. (With some social strategy I learned at Upworthy thrown in to boot!)
I’m a proud graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, where I was a CJ Starr, Gordon Parks, and SPJ scholarship winner, in addition to being the Vice President of SPJ. (I have a truly horrifying campaign video I will not link here.)
Before making the switch to journalism, I worked in media and international development, where I did public health research and television post-production for an Oprah Winfrey Network documentary series about global philanthropy called Operation Change featuring Bill Clinton, Richard Branson, and Donna Karan.
Contact me if you want to pitch me a story, or if you would like to chat about an awesome story you’re working on. I also like to mentor other people getting into journalism, and am always happy to offer advice.
