Work
writer and audio producer
Hi there.
I’m Caroline, a writer and audio producer. I like to explore the intersection between people and policy. I also like to write about fish.
My writing has been featured in various outlets, including The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, and The Atlantic. My audio pieces have been featured on many airwaves, including The New Yorker Radio Hour, PRI's The World, and the BBC World Service. Most recently, I was the reporter for WNYC and the History Channel’s Blindspot: Tulsa Burning, which won a duPont and a NAAPC Image Award.
My work was selected as a finalist for a National Magazine Award in reporting, a finalist for Germany’s Forecast grant, and was nominated for a Peabody. In 2017 I was awarded the GroundTruth Women in Technology reporting fellowship.
I have lived in Wyoming, New England, and rural Alaska. I love berries and hate sharks.
Selected work.
