- Business
In this episode, Lauren chats with Katharine Larsen, Deputy General Counsel, Litigation, for Thomson Reuters. Katharine was raised in a small town in the midwestern US, but always knew she wanted to explore the world. At a young age, Katharine began living and working abroad, and continued to do so at various points in her legal career. Now back in the US and working in New York City, Katharine has a unique global perspective that sets her apart from many American lawyers.
Through her journey around the globe, Katharine also found her passion in media law. Katharine and Lauren chat about this passion and other topics, including how Katharine's global experience helped her work to free Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo from prison in Myanmar, some big-picture differences between the US legal system and those of other countries, and the greatest challenge facing the media right now. They also chat about the importance of approaching situations without making assumptions, and why it often pays to ask open-ended questions. (Interview recorded 16th December 2022)
