Monday NewZ Roundup

HelloZ

Hello hello friendZ! Hope your weekend was filled with things that make you happy and that your Monday is off to the best start. It’s a brand new week here at ZlataPR and I’m writing this between back-to-back all-day meetings. Busy days always keep my head on a swivel, but of all the places my head could go, I feel like that’s a pretty good one, amiright? 

On the editing front, I’m drafting stories for Clean Plates, Cafe Mom, Mom.com and Little Things all this month, and I’m loving all the pitcheZ (thank you!). Check out all my titles below, and please feel free to pitch me your best stuff! 

I’m also happy to report I’m in the midst of 2023 content planning! In addition to my forthcoming course on affiliate marketing, I’m putting together some more Affiliate Marketing ABZs, my long-form segment where I dig into the fundamentals of affiliate marketing and PR. Most of these posts will be paid, so if you are not yet a paid subscriber, get on it! I’m still running my sale (see below), and this is a total write-off.

Have a burning question about affiliate stuff? Want to get to understand something a little more? Tell me! I’d love to cover it here. Comment on any post, or email me directly at z@zlatapr.com. 

We’ve got NewZ, ShowZ and FunnieZ all on deck. 

Let us do this.

NewZ 

  • Real Inmates of Salt Lake City: Jen Shah has been sentenced to prison for her role in a telemarketing fraud scheme. The Bravo star was sentenced to 6.5 years, with an additional 5 years of supervised release. We will all be supervising. 

  • In very good news we could all use, Damar Hamlin continues to improve. The 24-year-old Buffalo Bills player has been able to talk to his family and teammates after suffering from cardiac arrest while on the field last week. The player made his first post on social media since the event this weekend, saying, “When you put love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much.” 

  • Did you catch Anderson Coop with the royal scoop? Prince Harry sat down with Anderson for CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday night to discuss his upcoming memoir, in which he dishes on everything from his struggles from the traumatic loss of his mother to his not-so-chummy relationship with the other Royals. 

  • Actor Jeremy Renner is in critical but stable condition after a New Year’s Day accident left him in the hospital. The actor was accidentally run over by his own snowcat after freeing a snowbound vehicle near his home. 

  • YouTube is testing suggested hashtags. The platform will serve suggested hashtags for shorts based on common tags and topics in an effort to boost viewership. 

  • TikTok is licensing data from IMDb to make it easier for users to tag TV shows and movies in their uploads. 

  • I know I’ve said it before, but if you needed proof we’re living in the future, they finally made a real flying car. 


ShowZ

  • In more Real Housewives drama (which is the best kind, obvi), we bid adieu to Lisa Rinna, who has announced that she and her lips are leaving the Real Housewives platform. The OG RHO GOAT. And, OF COURSE, we count down the hours to RHONJ - Season 13 premieres February 7! 

  • In your weekly reminder that you are old and washed up and all the best times are now nostalgia for TV, That ‘90s Show debuts January 19 on Netflix. 

  • Aubrey Plaza hosts SNL on January 21. Because she is the best. At everything. Sam Smith joins the show as the musical guest. 

  • Season 5 of Yellowstone takes a break. The show aired its mid-season finale on Jan 1 and returns to finish Season 5 later this summer. I’ve tried no less than three times to get into this show and fall asleep in the first episode every. Single. Time. I’m not even a TV sleeper! It’s like a trance. Cannot help it. 


Fun Fact 

On this day in 2007, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone. And every day since, humanity has been worse for it. 


FunnieZ 

Baby, this is what you came for.

Last night my friend’s boyfriend was taking a photo of our group and a gen Z girl walked by, grabbed the phone out of his hand, took the best photo we’ve ever seen, handed the phone back, and walked away.

Last thing, if you have the opportunity to visit the top of the Empire State Building, take it! We had such a fun time being tourists around NYC one day over the break and I highly recommend!

Talk soon!
