Julia Harte
Julia Harte (2022) is an award-winning investigative reporter based in New York. Her coverage of the U.S. Justice Department, violent extremism, criminal justice and civil rights has appeared in publications such as Harper’s Magazine, The Nation, The Center for Public Integrity and Reuters. Her journalism career began in Turkey, where she lived for three years and freelanced for publications such as National Geographic, Foreign Policy and Inside Climate News. She received her master’s degree from the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University in 2014. An Al Jazeera America series on Native American tribe-affiliated payday lending companies that she reported with two other Stabile fellows won the 2014 Investigative Reporters & Editors Student Award. Her 2017 Reuters investigation into potentially unconstitutional payments to Trump-owned properties won a Sidney Hillman Foundation award and triggered a divestment campaign that culminated in a Trump company losing its contract to run the Trump SoHo Hotel.
During her Logan Nonfiction fellowship, Julia will be working on her book “Undomesticated: An Alternative History of American Radicalism,” chronicling an untold history of American idealists who traveled abroad to join revolutionary liberation movements and the self-defeating ways they were demonized by U.S. authorities as a result.
