We've Moved!

Same great stories... different home!

Welcome to Cho & Tell on Substack!

First and foremost, if you’re getting this email… great… it means you’re already a free subscriber… and I want to thank you for your support.

For reading my stories… for sending me your ideas (more than I can count)… and for all your comments… the good and the bad. 

Okay, well, maybe not the bad. 

If you want to continue getting Cho & Tell — and to make sure nothing gets lost — it might be helpful to add me to your contacts.

That said, if you're completely new here, or just need a little reminding about who I am and what I do, then…

ALLOW ME TO (RE)INTRODUCE MYSELF:

I’ve spent most of my career in TV news… CNN, ABC, CNBC and now… CBS Sunday Morning…

I recently won an Emmy Award for a story I did with Sting at his home in Tuscany.

I’m one of a handful of American journalists to report from inside North Korea…

And, yes, I’ve covered the fashion runways in New York and Paris… interviewing almost every major designer along the way…

I also host a conversation series with fashion luminaries called The Atelier with Alina Cho at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I’m co-producing an upcoming Netflix documentary on Martha Stewart…

I’m writing a book… magazine articles…

You get it.

As I always say, it’s a hustle.

Bottom line:  I’m passionate about telling stories… in a variety of formats.

That’s where Cho & Tell comes in.

I started Cho & Tell about a year and a half ago — time flies!!! — as a way to take a deep dive into my Rolodex (yes, I still call it that)… and bring you the types of stories you won’t see anywhere else… with the biggest names in fashion, food and the arts.

This is where you come in…

With the move to Substack, there are so many more ways I can interact with you beyond the written word… audio… video… Q+As…

I love working on this… but it is work… and it takes a lot of time, effort and resources.

So, I’m humbly asking for your support.

HERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN JOIN THE CHO & TELL COMMUNITY:

For the first time, I’m offering paid subscriptions for $6/month or $60/year ($5/month).

That’s the cost of one latte per month in most places.

By becoming a paid subscriber to Cho & Tell, you will receive my weekly newsletter and the ability to comment on every story — and I respond to every comment.

As I mentioned earlier, there’s also audio and video… that, too, will be exclusive to paid subscribers.

If you really love what I’m doing here and have the means to be a super supporter, I invite you to become a Founding Member.

Beyond my deep appreciation, you’ll get everything plus one virtual group chat with me every year… we’ll talk live about the stories I’m working on… the stories you want me to do… and feel free to ask me questions, too!

What’s more — and I want to underscore this — a paid subscription here allows me to continue all of the work I do. Your $6 a month makes it all possible!

Thank you so much.

I’ll be back with more next week… and every Wednesday.

Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook… where I provide updates on all of my projects!
