2022-23 Sector Network Series, Arts & Media

Katie began her CNN career as a news desk intern and then worked as a freelance producer, before joining CNN’s full-time staff as an investigative producer and then as an on-air investigative reporter. She is part of a team that has brought open-source investigative journalism to CNN for the first time.  

Katie has contributed to CNN investigations into Russian troll farms in Ghana, the Lekki toll gate shooting in Nigeria, and the investigation into child abuse in the Catholic church. Most recently, she worked on CNN’s coverage of the death of Shireen Abu Akleh and helped drive multiple investigations into Russia’s war on Ukraine. She worked with Nima Elbagir’s team covering the conflict in Ethiopia. Together they published Peabody Award nominated exclusive investigations that used on the ground and open-source techniques to expose massacres committed by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers.  

Katie gave a fantastic overview of her experience working in the media to our pupils, staff and parents.
