Kaely Monahan, Arizona Republic August 28, 2024 at 6:01 AM·2 min read It goes without saying: You must be a U.S. citizen to vote in U.S. elections. Even so, the idea of proving your citizenship has been hotly contested. Proponents say it's crucial to prevent non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. Opponents say that this creates roadblocks that disenfranchise voters.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked at CBS News in London as a digital intern and as a freelance writer for Everything Theatre, also in London.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes I have. But not in any professional capacity. We had one when I was growing up!

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Emailed pitches work fine, but I want them to be tailored to the podcasts I produced. No random pitches please.

Awards

Arizona Newspaper Association

2023 - Podcast

The Republic's podcasts won first place for producer Kaely Monahan's episode on Arizona's independent voters on The Gaggle.

View Award

Scripps Howard Award

2022 - Podcast

The Arizona Republic's yearlong coverage of challenges to 2020 election results was recognized Sunday with one of journalism's top honors. The news organization's staff received the Scripps Howard Award for distinguished service to the First Amendment. Republic journalists covered election night protests, partisan lawsuits, infighting among state and county Republican elected officials and a discredited recount of Maricopa County ballots. The news organization also fought for public access to the recount and went to court to demand public records about who was involved and who was paying for the recount. The coverage was capped by the five-part series "Democracy in Doubt," led by reporters Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, Ronald J. Hansen and Jen Fifield. The series detailed the pressure tactics used by former President Trump and his allies to try to flip Joe Biden's win in Arizona in Trump's favor. Kaely Monahan co-led the podcast production for this series. https://scripps.com/fund/news/scripps-howard-foundation-announces-winners-of-69th-scripps-howard-awards/
