Erin Johnson is an enthusiast when it comes to the likes of media and entertainment, and adores a good book and something compelling to watch. Erin received her MA in English and Media Studies from Rutgers University in 2022. Since then, she has pursued freelance writing, chasing her duel ambitions in entertainment journalism and consulting in the nonprofit sector.
Industry Focus
Erin has been a Core Features writer for Screen Rant since 2022 and writes a range of topics in movies and TV. Erin loves soaking up all forms of media and covers anything from the latest Neflix release to old movie favorites, but her focus lies in streaming and network television.
Favorite Media
Erin has a special fondness for satirical media, whether its American Dad! or The Handmaid's Tale. Anything that makes her laugh or reflect (or both!) becomes a serious obsession. Aside from that, Erin grew up with comics, video games, and reality TV, and as much as she may want to, it's impossible for her to focus on it all, so she settled with a loving relationship to all things pop culture.
