Business Insider senior features reporter Anna Silman is leaving to freelance.

She spent five years as a senior writer at The Cut at New York Magazine, where she was a generalist writing features, profiles, and essays on a wide variety of topics including culture, lifestyle, media, health, identity, and social behavior.

She spent four months developing NY Mag’s “Diary of a Hospital” series profiling frontline workers through COVID’s peak, and she published numerous features exploring the social dynamics of the pandemic.

She has also worked on audio stories for The Cut’s podcasts with Gimlet and Vox Media, including reporting, writing, and coproducing a feature on women in the far-right movement.

Silman is a graduate of McGill University and New York University.
