Carey Gillam
from The Hero’s Journey℠ Podcast Hosted by Center For Food Safety
“If you’re going to fight for anything, you should fight for freedom of speech.” Today on the pod, we have the inimitable journalist Carey Gillam. Carey shares her Kansan origins, what drew her to journalism in the first place, her career trajectory from national correspondent to uncovering Monsanto’s wrongdoings, how she’s stayed resilient in the face of corporate pushback, the value of non-profit journalism, dissecting the concept of “truth”, the need for nuanced thinking, and more. In this candid conversation, Ashley and Carey get real about their individual experiences as women in the media facing hostile actors. Thought-provoking and powerful, we end with the urgent call for freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
