Interview

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Jake Gittes from Chinatown. He starts with a surface narrative of individual wrongdoing — a private crime, a personal betrayal — and end up uncovering a structural system that feeds on those private violations.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

At its best, journalism is a secular form of moral inquiry — a way of saying, I refuse to let this disappear.

What's your favorite drink?

diet fanta

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

Reports on how power operates through care, therapy, and technology — exposing the hidden logics that shape violence, consent, and credibility.
