I'm an Amsterdam-based freelancer for (mostly) US magazines including The New Yorker, NYT Magazine, Businessweek, Scientific American, Nature, Wired, and others.
From 2013-2016 I launched and ran the features section of TakePart.com, the news site of Participant Media, producer of the films Spotlight, An Inconvenient Truth, and Citizen Four. I commissioned, edited, and wrote longform narrative features at Takepart.com/features, winning awards from the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Society of Environmental Journalists, the Association of Food Journalists, the Excellence in Financial Journalism Awards, Folio: magazine's Eddie awards, the LA Press Club, and others.
In 2013-2014 I was also a Contributing Writer for The New York Times Magazine.
I have also written for NYT Sunday Business, NYT Science, Time, Los Angeles, Slate, and others.
My writing and editing can be viewed at paultullis.net.
I am an accomplished media professional with experience writing and editing features and short items for marquee magazines; producing daily news for public radio; managing a news website; and blogging professionally.
I've also written for New York, Columbia Journalism Review, Wired UK, Sierra, Salon, Fast Company, Scientific American Mind, Time.com, The L.A. Times Magazine, New York Daily News, Brill's Content, Men's Journal, Psychology Today, Bon Appétit, Vibe and others.
I've appeared as a news commentator on MSNBC, NPR's "Morning Edition," Monitor Radio and KFOG-San Francisco, and my writing has been anthologized in five books from major publishers.
I was senior editor of the science magazine Seed the year it received its only National Magazine Award nomination and won its only Independent Press Award. One of the articles I edited was included in the 2007 edition of Best American Science and Nature Writing (Houghton-Mifflin).
I was articles editor of the environmental bimonthly Plenty and editor of the magazine's website. In this position, I edited a short feature four days a week and managed and edited a roster of bloggers while also working as a commissioning editor for the bimonthly print edition.
I worked as articles editor of Men's Journal, where I oversaw all the magazine's environmental coverage and edited and wrote features.
In 2004 I was a producer for KCRW-Santa Monica's award-winning current-affairs discussion programs, “To The Point" and "Which Way, L.A.?" Among my duties were conceiving topics, conducting research, pre-interviewing a broad array of notable guests and feeding the host questions while producing the segment live. "To The Point” won the L.A. Press Club Award for Best News Bureau for 2004.
A year out of college, I was among the founding staff of Might, an acclaimed, independent, national general-interest bimonthly. I wrote and edited items of all lengths for the magazine, including cover stories. Might was the only dual-category nominee in the 1997 Independent Press Awards, and was named the 19th "greatest magazine of all time" by a panel of industry experts.
