Education and career
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College,[2] Jackson began his career in journalism writing for publications VICE,[3] Complex,[4] W and Magazine[5] under his given name Mitchell Sunderland. At VICE, he profiled celebrities such as Paris Hilton[6] and Ann Coulter.[7]
Jackson left VICE in 2017 after a Buzzfeed report revealed correspondence with Milo Yiannopoulos,[8] in which Jackson told Yiannopoulos to mock another journalist.
"My advice to young people is always to blow up your life as soon as possible," Jackson told The New York Times[1] about the incident, "because the sooner you blow up your life, the faster your actual life can start."
After leaving VICE, Jackson went to work with publisher Judith Reagan from 2017 until 2019.[1]
