Patricia Evangelista is a trauma journalist whose coverage of the drug war in the Philippines has appeared in\xa0Rappler,\xa0Esquire, and elsewhere. Her recent book is\xa0Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country.\n\u201cIt is hard to describe the beat I do without saying very often it involves people who have died. And it seemed like an unfair way to frame it. It didn't quite seem right. \u2026 Sometimes there's no dead body, or sometimes there's 6,000, but the function is the same: that the people you speak to have gone through enormous painful trauma, and then there's a way to cover it that minimizes that trauma. So \u2026 I don't cover the dead. I cover trauma.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\nEvangelista's\xa0Rappler\xa0archive\n\n\nSome People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country\xa0(Random House \u2022 2023)\n\n01:00\xa0The Mastermind: A True Story of Murder, Empire, and a New Kind of Crime Lord\xa0(Evan Ratliff \u2022 Random House \u2022 2020)\n\n11:00\xa0Evangelista's\xa0Philippine Daily Inquirer\xa0archive\n\n\n21:00\xa0"The Rapture of Rodrigo Duterte"\xa0(Patricia Evangelista and Nicole Curato \u2022 Rappler \u2022 May 2016)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
