What was it like reporting on the Christchurch mosque attack? Charlotte Greenfield tells us how it felt to be there as someone from New Zealand and takes us inside her story examining how such an attack could happen. We also talk about her story from when she did a stint in Afghanistan on how US peace talks with the Taliban could be marginalizing Afghan women. We talk about growing up in Wellington with a journalist step-father (3:55), studying law and journalism despite having no intention of becoming a lawyer (10:23), founding an NGO in Kenya (18:45) Columbia j-school (24:00), her start at Reuters in Indonesia (30:35), her story on the lack of hate crime tracking in New Zealand (46:50), her story on the Taliban negotiations (52:20) and what it was like to rush into the reporting on the Christchurch attack (57:15). Also, stick around for the lightning round (1:02:07).
