Emily Ramshaw was previously editor-in-chief of the Texas Tribune an award-winning nonpartisan digital news start-up. She serves on the board of the Pulitzer Prize. 

Meghan was the interviewer although Emily couldn’t help herself, and jumped in with her own questions for Meghan.

• Meghan asked Emily how hard it was to launch a news platform, now, right in the middle of a pandemic. 
• Meghan asked how stories carried by The 19th* are going to differ from those carried by other news organizations. 
• Emily and Meghan discussed the importance of voting. 

Emily snuck in a couple of questions of her own for Meghan

• Emily asked how Meghan felt about the political situation in the US – what had Meghan noticed as a biracial woman on her recent move back to the US.
• Emily also asked Meghan about her own experiences at the hands of the media.
• Meghan voiced being glad to be back home and looking forward to using her voice.
