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.

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, Brandon Quester Executive Director and Editor Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting DONATE TODAY!
