Yukari Kane

To learn more about the importance of prison journalism and the challenges of reporting from behind bars during the COVID-19 pandemic, we spoke with Yukari Kane and Shaheen Pasha, co-founders and -executive directors of the Prison Journalism Project. In this episode, Kane and Pasha discuss the power of teaching journalism behind bars, particularly during a pandemic; the importance of integrating prison journalism into not only the larger field of journalism, but also broader conversations around criminal justice reform; the nuance of defining the genre of “prison journalism”; and the challenges of fact-checking, verification, and credibility in a space with limited access to the internet and outside sources.This podcast episode was written, hosted, and produced by Frances Keohane, with help from Caits Meissner and Robert Pollock.

(EP. 44) SHAHEEN PASHA, JOURNALISM AND TEACHING

Shaheen Pasha is an educator and journalist. Today we’re talking about her work training both university students and inmates as journalists at the University of Massachusetts. This isn’t jail porn. It’s an exploration of gaining access to stories that are challenging to report physically and psychologically; what it means when prisoners tell their own stories to people on the outside; and how society is currently making decisions about prison life without an understanding of what it’s really like behind bars. You’ll find some inspiration for overcoming obstacles in your own passion projects. Pasha is the co-editor of “Mirror on the Veil: A Collection of Personal Essays on Hijab and Veiling,” and is a contributor to The Dallas Morning News, New England Public Radio, USA Today, Daily Beast and Quartz, among other news outlets. Her areas of focus include international journalism, Islam and religion, business reporting, and mass incarceration issues.
