<p></p><blockquote>“I love making pieces of writing and trying to find the right language to say what I mean. It's such a wonderful way of being alive in the world. I mean, your material is all around you. ... I'm lucky that it has stayed interesting for me. It hasn't faded. The challenges of writing, they still glow.”

  <p>Ta-Nehisi Coates is an author and journalist. His next book is <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/653438/the-message-by-ta-nehisi-coates/"><em>The Message</em></a>.</p>

<p></p><blockquote>“I don’t think we have the luxury as journalists of avoiding things because people might say bad things about us. I don’t even think we have the luxury of avoiding things because we might get fired. I don’t think we have the luxury of avoiding them because somebody might cancel some sort of public speech that we have. I then have to ask you, what are you in it for? Like, why did you come here? Did you come here just to make a living? Because there are many other things where you could make more money.”</blockquote><p></p>

<p></p><blockquote>“At some point, you have to kick it out the door, and it’s never finished to the degree that you would finish a magazine piece. But it, in some ways, is more interesting because it is produced in a short amount of time, and it’s read as something that is not supposed to be complete. It’s just meant to provoke or to provide thought or whatever, to provide some sort of context on a certain issue or not. And I actually like that a lot better than the magazine writing. I respect the magazine writers—obviously, I was one—but for my disposition now, in my lifestyle, I actually enjoy having to produce this thing every week.”</blockquote><p></p>

  <p>Rachel Khong is a journalist and author whose latest novel is <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/725682/real-americans-by-rachel-khong/"><em>Real Americans</em>.</a>

</p><p></p><blockquote>“It's about the ways in which we miss each other as human beings and can't fully communicate what it is like to be ourselves. … And I think that's what makes it so interesting to me, to work on a novel and to spend so much time trying to get down on the page what it feels like to be a human being who's alive. … I think the effort itself is what human relationships are.”</blockquote><p></p>

  <p>Kelsey McKinney is a features writer and co-owner at <em><a href="https://defector.com/">Defector.com</a></em>.

<p></p><blockquote>“I was always very interested in how you strategize a creative career. And I think that that is an unsexy thing to talk about, right? It's much sexier to be like, <em>Oh, I love working on my sentence-level craft</em>, which is not true for me. But I think that a lot of a creative career is understanding it is still a job, and then understanding how you make sure that within the container of the job you can do the work that you want to do. That is a really difficult balance to make. So if you can understand how people who have done it before you, you can copy them.”</blockquote><p></p>

  <p>Jason Motlagh, a journalist and filmmaker, is a contributing editor at <em>Rolling Stone</em> and the founder of Blackbeard Films.

<blockquote>“Once you've gotten used to this kind of metabolism, it can be hard to walk away from it. Ordinary life can be a little flat sometimes. And so that's always kind of built in. I accept that. I think I've just tried to be more honest about like, [am I taking this risk] because I need a bump my life? Or do you really believe in what you're doing? And I feel like I really do need to believe in the purpose of the story. There has to be some motivation greater than myself."</blockquote>

  <p>Brian Howey is a freelance journalist who won the Polk Award for Justice Reporting after exposing a deceptive police tactic widely used in California. He began the project, which was eventually published by the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> and <em>Reveal</em>, as a graduate student in the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.</p>

<blockquote>“It’s one thing to hear about this tactic and hear about parents being questioned in this way. It’s another thing entirely to hear the change in a parent’s voice when they realize for the past 20 minutes they’ve been speaking ill of a relative who’s actually been dead the entire time, and to hear that wave of grief and sometimes that feeling of betrayal that cropped up in their voice and how the way that they spoke to the officers afterwards changed.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Where does it leave me? It leaves me with a searing anger that is going to propel me to the next thing. But we’ve made some real improvement. And that’s worth celebrating. That’s worth recognizing and saying, <em>This work matters, people are paying attention</em>.”</blockquote>

  <p>Amel Guettatfi and Julia Steers won this year's George Polk Award for Television Reporting for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtSf9ktubO0">“Inside Wagner,”</a> their <em>Vice News</em> investigation of Russian mercenaries on the Ukraine front and in the Central African Republic. </p>

<blockquote>“One of the best takeaways I got from seven or eight years at <em>Vice</em> is that it’s not enough for something to be important when you’re figuring out how to make a story. It’s the intersection of important and interesting. And that has taught me that people will watch anything, anywhere, as long as it’s interesting. Nobody owes us their time. The onus is on us to explain things in an interesting, compelling way. I’m hoping that a landscape opens up somewhere else that sees that and understands that can be done anywhere in the world.”</blockquote>
<p><em>This is the first in a week-long series of conversations with winners of this year’s <a href="https://liu.edu/polk">George Polk Awards in Journalism</a>.</em></p>

  <p>Megan Kimble is the former executive editor of <em>The Texas Observer</em> and has written for <em>The New York Times</em>, <em>Texas Monthly</em>, and <em>The Guardian</em>. Her new book is <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711708/city-limits-by-megan-kimble/"><em>City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America’s Highways</em></a>.</p>
<p></p><blockquote>“I have never lived in a city that was not wrapped in highways. It’s hard for me to imagine anything else. And I think that’s true for a lot of people today. ... [But] we have known since the origins of the interstate highways program that building highways through cities doesn’t fix traffic. And yet we keep doing it. To me, that really fueled a lot of the book. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.”</blockquote><p></p>

</p><p></p><blockquote>“I'm not like a staff writer who has … status and access. But if I come up with something fun that you've never heard of that might connect to the larger culture, then it kind of hits a nerve and a sweet spot for me. Someone like a pro skateboarder or a pro bowler, you guys have never heard of. And so being able to present a person and a culture and a world to a wider audience, I think suits me well and has been really a fun way to do profiles.”</blockquote><p></p>

And once you solve one, two, three mysteries in a space, then the meta-mystery of that space begins to dim. And all these other subjects—that's the new unlit space that needs the flashlight. And that's the part of the job that I love the most: that there are so many dark corners in the world. And I've just got this flashlight, and I can just shine it wherever the hell I want.”</blockquote><p></p>

  <p>Sloane Crosley is the author of <em><a href="https://www.sloanecrosley.com/i-was-told-thered-be-cake">I Was Told There’d Be Cake</a></em> and several other books. Her new memoir is <em><a href="https://www.sloanecrosley.com/grief-is-for-people-book">Grief Is for People</a></em>.</p>

<p></p><blockquote>“You take a little sliver of yourself and you offer it up to be spun around in perpetuity in the public imagination. That is the sacrifice you make. And it makes everything just a little bit worse.  So it's the opposite of catharsis, but it's worth it. It's worth it for what you get in return: a book.”</blockquote><p></p>

<p></p><blockquote>“It is hard to describe the beat I do without saying very often it involves people who have died. And it seemed like an unfair way to frame it. It didn't quite seem right. … Sometimes there's no dead body, or sometimes there's 6,000, but the function is the same: that the people you speak to have gone through enormous painful trauma, and then there's a way to cover it that minimizes that trauma. So … I don't cover the dead. I cover trauma.”</blockquote><p></p>

  <p>Susan Glasser, the former editor of <em>Politico</em> and <em>Foreign Policy</em>, writes the "Letter from Washington" column for the <em>The New Yorker</em>. Her most recent book, written with Peter Baker, is <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646871/the-divider-by-peter-baker-and-susan-glasser/?ref=PRH25404DE4A191&amp;aid=37183&amp;linkid=PRH25404DE4A191"><em> The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021</em></a>.
</p><p></p><blockquote>“There’s a great benefit to leaving Washington and then coming back, or frankly leaving anywhere and then coming back. I think you have much wider open eyes. Washington, like a lot of company towns, takes on a logic of its own, and things that can seem crazy to the rest of the country, to the rest of the world, somehow end up making more sense than they should when you’re just doing that all day long, every day.”</blockquote><p></p>
