Heliograph: The Investigative Journalism Playbook

In this episode of Heliograph: Snapshots, we talk with IJB OG, Emma Jarratt. What makes Jarratt's reporting important is not just that her work takes aim at power, but that her work shares stories that are hiding in plain sight. These are stories we should not take for granted. They’re stories we should have known by now and reckoned with. And they are stories that report on the invisible suffering of women. In her career she has chosen to take big swings at very difficult subjects and does so with a fierce lens and a steady touch.
