In this episode, Paris-based journalist Scott Sayare talks about two longform pieces he wrote, "The Ultimate Terrorist Factory, Are French prisons incubating extremism?" which he wrote for Harper's, and, "The Untold Story of the Bastille Day Massacre," which he wrote for GQ.
"Think about where people’s interests lie. Go to the people whose interests are closer to your own, which is to say, for having the information made public. Chances are good that the lawyers defending terror suspects are going to be much more amenable to the notion of public access to the information than the prosecutors would be."
Besides Harper's and GQ, Scott has also written for The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Atlantic, among other places. For more information about his work, check out his website.
