30 Second Rundown:

Rachel Sklar is a lawyer, and New York-based media blogger and freelance writer on a wide array of topics. Her work has been published in the New York Times, Glamour, The Financial Times, The Chicago Tribune, Wallpaper*, The New York Post, and The Village Voice. Sklar is the Media and Special Projects Editor for the Huffington Post and writes and edits the site’s Eat The Press page. She has also made several TV appearances on the Fox News Channel. Sklar is currently working on a humorous book about cultural identity, Jew-ish. (Don’t you mean Jewish? I’m not sure what Jew-ish is, and this is why I’m asking.)

Why She Matters:

Being an editor at Huffington Post is often enough to make someone influential on the internet, but Sklar is also a prolific writer on many publications both online and offline. She was also recently named to Heeb magazine’s “Heeb 100“, Chatelaine magazine’s “Canadian Women to Watch” and the Globe & Mail’s “Ten Famous Canadians You’ve Never Heard Of“.
