A Resource for Everyday Life EFTA00697501 Illustration by Antoine Corbineau Beyond The Times's reputation for covering the big stories and issues of the day, we also have a long tradition of enhancing readers' personal lives, with timely, practical guidance from experts in their field. Smarter Living is one of our latest ventures in service joumalism, pulling together some of the most interesting and useful content from across The Times. Did you catch these? "A Smarter Way to Clean Your Home " "Why It's So Hard to Admit You're Wrong " "Robocalls Flooding Your Cellphone? Here's How to Stop Them " "Things I Wish I Had Known When My Dog Died " "Why You Should Learn to Say No More Often" and "How to Avoid Stress When You're Moving." You might be surprised by some of the insights contained in each. A SELECTION OF RECENT ARTICLES CATCH UP WITH EDITOR. SMARTER LIVING EFTA00697502 Tim Herrera Tim Herrera In his own Smarter Living story on personal finance, Tim Herrera admitted to being an average 29-year-old who never learned how money works. With the goal of starting to close that knowledge gap, he interviewed Ron Lieber, The Times's Your Money columnist, explaining that he was seeking Ron's wisdom as "an exercise in selfishness." To which Ron replied, "It's also an exercise in smarts. The smartest people are the ones who admit what they don't know." Smarter Living speaks to readers of all ages who want to keep learning, have a wide-ranging curiosity and love to integrate what they learn into their lives. For especially timely gratification, here are "5 Summer Movies to Put on Your List." HOW DID SMARTER LIVING COME ABOUT? It was the culmination of two ideas: The Times's archive is a gold mine of incredible stories, and service journalism — writing and reporting that helps people live better lives - is something we should strive to be a destination for. So Smarter Living launched last summer, initially just to highlight the best service from our archives, and we've grown in huge ways since then. WITH SO MANY STORIES TO CHOOSE FROM, HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS? EFTA00697503 We're guided by really just one gold standard: Does this story genuinely help our readers live better lives? That can take lots of forms. Sometimes it's showing how to pack your luggage more efficiently or stock your first kitchen, other times it means learning how to effectively say no or how to create habits that make you more productive. If a story clears that bar, it's a Smarter Living story. HAVE YOU HAD FAVORITE EXPERIENCES HERE SO FAR? I know this is so corny to say, but honestly the best experiences are when we get emails from readers saying how much a story impacted their life. The media ecosystem can be a little cynical these days, and I think Smarter Living has become a sort of oasis away from that in a way. So when readers write in and say that a story helped them in some way, or illuminated a topic, or just offered an interesting idea they hadn't thought about before, it's incredibly rewarding. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND, AND WHAT MIGHT HAVE MADE YOU ESPECIALLY WELL SUITED FOR THIS JOB? I went to N.Y.U. for journalism and anthropology (yes, the two most lucrative majors a person can have), after which I worked at amNewYork and Newsday for a few years as a metro reporter. I spent a year and a half in M. at The Washington Post — and fell in love with the city, I will defend it to the death — then came back to New York two years ago. I've spent the better part of a decade either reporting and writing or connecting with readers and building communities, so Smarter Living is the perfect marriage of those two. I really couldn't have designed a better job if I tried. HAS YOUR PAST REPORTING WORK AT THE WASHINGTON POST AND AMNEW YORK -AND YOUR WORK IN SOCIAL MEDIA AT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS - BEEN USEFUL AT SMARTER LIVING? I first knew service journalism was an area 1 wanted to work in when I wrote about my diet and food issues for The Washington Post years ago. The reader emails I got in response to that were amazing. They were thoughtful, earnest, open. People wrote in saying that just EFTA00697504 writing about my own issues helped make them feel a little less alone in their struggles. So that was eye opening. I had spent years as a reporter and editor before then, but the experiences I had around that story really are why I was so thrilled to work on Smarter Living. DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR SMARTER LIVING OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR SO THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH US? Yes! Many exciting things are in the works: Most important, we're launching a weekly newsletter this month, which will pull together the best service journalism from the newsroom and offer a fresh take on a new topic every week. We've got some amazing guides in the works this year, and we're going to keep going deeper and deeper in our collaboration with Wirecutter and Sweethome. ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE OUR READERS TO KNOW?
