Gossip
Please stop adding the word "gossip" to the article. Ms. Velez-Mitchell is NOT a gossip journalist as "gossip journalism" is not considered legit. Hearsay and gossip are NOT news, nor journalism. Anyone can gossip, it doesn't make them a journalist. Further inclusion of this word will be removed and an an administrator will be contacted for corrective action.--XLR8TION (talk) 20:04, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

In August 2013, Velez-Mitchell released her fourth book, New York Times Bestseller, Exposed: The Secret Life of Jodi Arias. The book closely examines the life of notorious killer,  Jodi Arias, leading up to the horrific death of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, and the ensuing murder trial that shocked the nation at every turn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvallad (talk • contribs) 17:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 22 November 2017
Jane herself has asked me to add this to the top of her page:

Jane Velez-Mitchell is the founder and president of JaneUnChained.com, a social media news network for animal rights and the plant-based/cruelty-free lifestyle. Velez-Mitchell has taken her decades of experience in mainstream media and used it to report on animal, environmental and health issues ignored by mainstream media, with a special emphasis on live reporting via Facebook.com/JaneVelezMitchell, where she has a sizable and fast growing fan base.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Ms. Velez-Mitchell does not own this article, and the proposed text is written in a very promotional tone. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:09, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

University claim
...she stated that she attended New York University.
 * Strange wording. Does this mean there's some doubt about her qualifications? Valetude (talk) 17:32, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
