AZCIR Welcomes A New Investigative Reporter Natasha Yee

 

Dear Tim,

I’m thrilled to introduce you to AZCIR’s newest investigative reporter, Natasha Yee. She recently joined our newsroom for a six month investigative reporting fellowship made possible by the Fund for Investigative Journalism, a nonprofit that provides grants to foster high quality, impactful accountability reporting. Natasha will focus her coverage for AZCIR on the Arizona cannabis industry.

Natasha previously covered a range of topics, including cannabis, for the Phoenix New Times. She also has covered politics as a freelance reporter for Rolling Stone.

She is a first-generation college graduate who recently earned a master’s degree in journalism from ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, where she covered border issues and health. Prior to her work in media, Natasha worked as a high school English teacher. She is the daughter of Iraqi immigrants and speaks fluent Aramaic, conversational Spanish and limited Arabic.

I’m excited to welcome Natasha to our team, and to further expand our investigative coverage thanks to support from the Fund for Investigative Journalism.

Please don’t be shy about reaching out to Natasha—send her a welcome note or share tips with her about Arizona’s cannabis industry. And if you’re on twitter, give her a follow!

Thanks, as always, for following and supporting our work.

Cheers,
