In this episode, freelance environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb discusses his recent Mother Jones story, The Deliciously Fishy Case of "the Codfather." Ben tells how he first found the story, and techniques he used in his writing and reporting of the story.
“Get out there and meet the people. It’s really easy to do everything over the phone… but all of my best reporting experiences have come when I’ve gotten out into the field.”
Ben has written for High Country News, Pacific Standard, Modern Farmer, and Boston Magazine among other places. Check out his website for more information about his work: http://bengoldfarb.com/
