In my conversation with Kamau High, we take a deep dive into the mind of a journalist. Listen as we discuss how books like 'Harriet The Spy', and Stephen King planted the seed for his love of writing, the high school newsroom the he created and what it feels like to gain then lose your "dream" job. We also get into his current editorial position at The Baltimore Sun, where he was one of many who contributed to the Healthy Holly- Catherine Pugh saga; a series of investigative stories that not only contributed to the resignation of Baltimore mayor, Catherine Pugh, but also won The Baltimore Sun a Pulitzer Prize in local reporting.
