Episode 6: Laura Kasinof, "The New Berliners"

In this episode, freelance journalist Laura Kasinof talks about her longform Virginia Quarterly Review feature, "The New Berliners." The story looks at how Syrian refugees are adjusting to new lives in Germany through the prism of one family. 

“I was honest with what I wanted to do. This story is important. I want to watch and record what it’s like for you because I think it’s important to tell the story of Syrian refugees.”

Laura has extensively reported for The New York Times, along with Harper's, Guernica, The Atlantic, and Foreign Policy, to name a few. She is also the author of the reporting memoir, Don't Be Afraid of the Bullets: An Accidental War Correspondent in Yemen.
