Speaking of algorithms and things that come up on our feeds…I got sucked into reading Emilia Clarke’s essay that was published today titled a “A Battle for my Life” when it popped up on my Twitter. If you don't know her by her real name, she plays Daenerys Targaryen. Like thousands of others I love Game of Thrones, so naturally I was curious what she was writing about.
I do wonder how this article came about--if she approached The New Yorker wanting to write this piece or if they somehow approached her. She says in the article this was her first time speaking about her health struggles so I wonder why The New Yorker for avenue of choice..? Someone of her status could easily go on a talk show, do an interview, and be done with it. Was she given special editing attention in composing and revising the text? It's only been out for a few hours and the initial New Yorker tweet already has 10k+ retweets and 30k+ likes.
