Work

Moskowitz's first book, How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood, was published in 2017 by Bold Type Books.[5][6][7] The book surveys the systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York City.[8]

In 2019, they released their second book, The Case Against Free Speech: The First Amendment, Fascism, and the Future of Dissent, also published by Bold Type. The book argues that the United States' freedom of speech is a "dialectical smokescreen" used by those in power in the country's two-party system.[9]

They were a 2019 Knight Visiting Nieman Fellows at The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.[10]

In 2020, Moskowitz began Mental Hellth, a newsletter dedicated to mental health, psychology, psychiatry, work, media, and modern society. The newsletter is hosted on Substack.[11]

They have written for various media publications including The Guardian, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Wired, Slate, and Vice.
