Longform and immersion reporting

Katia Savchuk interviews Jessica Weisberg about her Atavist story on a southern California family torn apart by Child Protective Services, and how she approached reporting on them: "For this story, I could just hang out at the Brannings’ house with my notebook and iPhone. Something about the ability to be quiet physically while you’re reporting can be a real privilege. Another big advantage of longform, in radio too, is there’s a lot of space for complexity."
