About

I'm Becky Bartkowski. I'm an editor and journalist who writes about art, fashion, and pop culture. 

I'm the Arts and Music Editor at Phoenix New Times, Arizona's leading alt weekly. I run the music, arts, and calendar sections, manage freelancers, and write long-form features, arts criticism, and TV recaps. 

I grew up in Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Arizona. I studied journalism and justice studies at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. After graduating, I covered arts and entertainment for Gannett's Desert Sun newspaper in Palm Springs, California, and joined New Times in 2011.
