Journalism, media, and social engagement

Pally began her journalistic career as the arts editor, and a critic and columnist at the New York Native,[20][21][22][23] and has been a contributor to The Village Voice,[24] The Advocate (LGBT magazine),[25][26] Religion News Service,[27] and The New York Times.[28] She was also a senior editor of Penthouse Forum,[29] a contributing editor of Penthouse (magazine),[30] and was the magazine's film critic from 1987 to 1993.[31][32] She has also been a film critic for such periodicals as Film Comment[33] and Cineaste (magazine).[34] Since being sent to write about the Berlin Biennale "from ze aus-sider's point of view" in 1987,[35] Pally has been a frequent contributor to Die Tageszeitung,[36][37] and has written political and cultural columns for such German periodicals as Die Zeit,[38] Die Welt,[39] and Süddeutsche Zeitung.[40] In 2009, Berlin University Press published an anthology of her columns in the German press, Liebeserklärungen aus Kreuzberg und Manhattan.

In addition to her work in print media, Pally was the subject of In the Pictures (1977),[41][42], a documentary about her as a choreographer, and the subject of a portrait by photographer Robert Giard that was one of the 182 portraits selected from among Giard's more than 500 portraits for publication in his book Particular Voices (1997).[43][44] The portrait is now part of the collection of the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University.[45] Pally was the co-host and a co-producer of Vito Russo's television series Our Time,[46][47][48] and from 1990 to 1995, she co-hosted weekly film-review programs on WBAI radio with Stuart Klawans.[49][50][51] Pally also appeared in the documentaries Rights and Reactions: Lesbian and Gay Rights on Trial (1988),[52] Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (1989),[53][54] and Vito (film) |Vito (2011).[55][56]
