Prior to getting my doctorate, I was a multimedia journalist and spent time at the New York Times, Slate and produced projects as a freelancer for outlets such as Pando and ProPublica. These days, I still produce journalism by collaborating with Capital News Service and the Howard Center for Investigative Reporting at the University of Maryland.
