About Joanne Cachapero
I’m a journalist and editor with over 22 years of experience reporting on controversial and culturally significant industries — most notably the adult entertainment and cannabis sectors. Currently, I serve as Associate Editor at AVN Media Network, where I cover B2B and B2C developments in video, tech, novelties, and performer culture across the adult industry.My work has appeared in AVN, XBIZ, Playgirl, High Times, Green Market Report, Kinkly, and other media outlets. I’ve covered a broad range of topics throughout my career — from interviewing Woody Harrelson for High Times at the opening of his West Hollywood dispensary, to reporting on the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.With a background in both lifestyle journalism and industry-facing trade writing, I bring a real-world, objective lens to the subjects I cover. I aim to present honest, well-researched stories that reflect the depth, complexity, and cultural influence of these often-misunderstood worlds.
Experience
Associate Editor
Jul 2024 — Present · Los Angeles, CA, US
As Associate Editor at AVN Media Network, I report on the business, people, and cultural forces shaping the adult entertainment industry—from performer profiles to legal issues, tech, novelties, and LGBTQ coverage. I edit incoming press materials, generate original reporting, and contribute to both daily news flow and monthly editorial features.I cover the industry’s biggest events, including the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN Awards, and produce a wide range of content: interviews, B2B trend pieces, memorials, and breaking news. My audience includes adult industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and longtime fans—and my goal is to document this complex, influential space with honesty and authority.
