Episode 120: Katie J.M. Baker

Published: Dec. 3, 2014, 6 p.m.

b'Katie J.M. Baker is a reporter for BuzzFeed.\\n\\n\\u201cI went to Steubenville a year after the sexual assault to cover their first big football game of the season and I was face-to-face with these people who I had been writing about without knowing much about them. From far away it seems like, do these details matter? Do we care if these people\\u2019s lives get messed up when the narrative is so strong, when Steubenville now stands for more awareness around rape culture? But when you\\u2019re there, of course it matters. After that piece I realized I didn\\u2019t want to blog anymore and I wanted to just focus on reporting.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to Casper, Scribd, and TinyLetter for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow Notes:\\n@katiejmbaker\\nkatiejmbaker.com\\nBaker on Longform\\n[4:00] "Forever Young" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Sep 2014)\\n[13:00] "In West Virginia, Playing Hooky Can Get You Locked Up" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Oct 2014)\\n[20:00] "Supervisor Wants Motive Spelled Out at S.F.\'s Antiabortion Clinics" (San Francisco Chronicle \\u2022 Jun 2011)\\n[20:00] "Teacher Leaves Elite LA School After Alleged Student Affair, Inappropriate Relationships" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Jul 2014)\\n[21:00] "Head Of Elite L.A.
