Samantha McCabe is a Vancouver-based freelance writer who has written for a variety of outlets, including the Globe and Mail, the Walrus, and the Tyee. A 2019 graduate of the University of British Columbia, and alum of the Ubyssey, she won Student Journalist of the Year at the 2019 National Student Journalism Conference. 

 Outside of university, she’s also worked as a reporter for the Southeast Asia Globe in Cambodia, and at the Globe and Mail—where, in the run up to the 2019 federal election, she pitched and developed the idea for the Globe’s election newsletter. 

In this interview, Sam and I discuss her work reporting on sexualized violence, how a three-part investigative series came to be in 2018 examining UBC's sexual assault policy, and many of her other articles in her young (but incredibly brilliant!) journalism career.
