Jenna Wortham on Journalism and Activism, Healing Justice, Objectivity, “Imposter Syndrome,” and their NYT Journey
Jenna Wortham is a writer at New York Times Magazine, co-author alongside Kimberly Drew of the anthology Black Futures, co-host of the NYT award-winning podcast Still Processing, where her and her best friend and the Times’ critic at large Wesley Morris make listeners feel like they are eavesdropping on two best friends talking about exactly what we need to be discussing in culture.
In this episode, we are talking about our own biases we carry, the state of journalism, being told you are a “diversity hire”, healing, how she made her way up in the New York Times, and the process of building the anthology Black Futures.
