Julia Harte

Julia is a reporter for Reuters in New York City. Her long-form reporting on the tension between national security policy and civil rights has appeared in Harper’s Magazine, The Nation, and The Center for Public Integrity. She received her Master’s degree from the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University and spent three years working as a journalist in Turkey. At Mesa Refuge, she worked on a book that traces the untold history of American activists (including her father’s cousin who was branded a fanatic by J. Edgar Hoover for traveling to Mexico to work for Leon Trotsky) who traveled abroad to support revolutionary liberation movements and the self-defeating ways they were demonized by the U.S. government.
