Manage episode 450821885 series 3016722
Natalie Jacobsen's journalism career began at age 13 writing Harry Potter book reviews for local newspapers. A fascination with Japan in college led to an opportunity to work in the country as a photographer and then journalist. In this edition of Update-1, Jacobsen speaks with NPC Broadcast/Podcast Co-chair Adam Konowe about her career path in journalism, including how the profession in Japan differs compared to here in the U.S. The interview covers how Jacobsen's experiences there as a westerner and a woman influenced how she researched and wrote "Ghost Train," a historical fantasy novel set in 19th century Japan.
