Devon Maloney is a freelance culture journalist, feminist, and sort-of-apologetic GIFtimist hailing from sunny El Segundo, California (no, she didn’t leave her wallet there, but you’re definitely the first person to ask!). Most recently, she held the position of News Editor at SPIN.com; you can tell because they put a picture of her on there (the bylines might also have been a giveaway).
Currently, Devon’s name is burrowed deep in the CMS depths of sites like Rolling Stone, VICE, Noisey, the Village Voice, and Tumblr’s Storyboard, as well as within the ink-stained pages of the Boston Phoenix (her entire body of outlets and clips is located here). Before that, she was the News Editor at SPIN.com, and before that, you might’ve seen her work (or not, most likely) on the late, great Billboard Pro, where she worked as Assistant Editor and then sitting Editor. She also has written for both of the other Billboard sites, and for Billboard magazine.
She likes people to know graduated magna cum laude in December 2010 from Boston University’s College of Communication with a degree in journalism and sociology, and as a result hopes to pursue a career life that challenges her to be as clever, creative, and helpful as possible. She has a tendency to type in all caps, and, unfortunately for the reputation of her demographic, lives in Brooklyn.
Hey Devon,
Absolutely loved your blurb on my brother, Eric Calderone. He would make a very interesting story…reach out to me at any time. Would love to get the both of you together.
Best Regards,

Hey Devon,
Thanks for the photo compliment on your recent Spin article about Jake Clemons. Really appreciate your words and you using the space! If you ever decide to do a follow-up article, I’ve got a small collection of pics that I took with Jake from Feb.2011-Sept.2011 while he was pursuing his solo career. (Portraiture, Album Cover & Performance)
I’m based out of Astoria if you ever want to meet up. I’ll send you a few more links but here’s a little background on this photo:
This picture was taken in Astoria, NY at Sound Works Studios. It was August 3, 2011 and Jake was up rehearsing for some upcoming shows. He caught the red-eye bus up from our hometown of Virginia Beach and we met at the studio. This was shot after the session. So very honored that he chose to use this pic for such a huge personal announcement – it’s one for the history books!
Have a great day,
Matthew Carasella
