Katherine Nagasawa is a multimedia journalist who specializes in participatory storytelling rooted in community and place. She creates multimedia stories, tools and experiences that help people more deeply engage with the places they live and with each other — and she invites them to collaborate with her to shape the projects’ direction, content and presentation. Katherine was previously a digital and engagement producer at WBEZ public radio in Chicago, where she helped answer people’s questions about Chicago and the region for the show Curious City. She also led community engagement strategy for WBEZ’s newsroom to expand the reach, relevance, and impact of their journalism to racial communities historically underserved by the station. Most recently, Katherine produced several interactive web curriculums about Japanese American World War II incarceration and resettlement to Chicago and the Midwest Japanese American movement for redress and reparations.
