单集简介 ...

Theo Baker is the investigations editor at The Stanford Daily. The first college student ever to win a George Polk Award, Baker received a special recognition for uncovering allegations that pioneering research co-authored by Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a renowned neuroscientist, was supported in part by manipulated imagery. “It’s useful to intellectualize it because when you actually get going, this is something that keeps me up at night. … It’s the last thing I think about when I go to sleep, and the first thing on my mind when I wake up.” This is the first in a week-long series of conversations with winners of this year's George Polk Awards in Journalism.

  • Listen, we all love a good hustle.

  • We all love a rise and grind mentality, but let's be real.

  • You could do all that and still be super comfy, right?

  • Right.

  • Nothing says comfort quite like a pair of crocs.

  • Since 2002, they've been disrupting the footwear industry with their iconic clogs silhouette.

  • And now you can choose from more than 800 styles to find the pair of crocs that is perfect for you.

  • Like the Echo Way, with the sculptural, boundary-pushing design that was crafted with the urban explorer in mind.

  • Whatever your style, buy yours at crocs.com, your crocs, your story, your world.

  • Hey, it's Max, so for the third year in a row,

  • we're doing a series of interviews this week with winners of this year's prestigious George Polk Journalism Award.

  • Every day this week, Monday through Friday,

  • we're going to put up an interview with a different Polk Award winner discussing their winning work.

  • The Polk Awards honor long-form reporting, and as John Darden,

  • the curator of the awards talked about at the ceremony earlier this month, that work is done at a great cost.

  • Sixty-seven journalists were killed in 2022.

  • That's almost double from the year before,

  • and the highest number since 2018, according to the committee, to protect journalists.

  • And as you'll hear,

  • these conversations are not just a testament to the importance and the value and the power of investigative journalism.
