Katie Worth

Katie Worth is an investigative reporter at FRONTLINE PBS, where her work explores science, politics, and their myriad intersections. She began her professional life at the Pacific Daily News on Guam, and later worked as an enterprise reporter for the San Francisco Examiner. In 2011 she moved to Santiago, Chile, where she spent three years admiring the Andes, eating too many empanadas, and freelancing stories for Scientific American, National Geographic, Slate and Vice. In 2014 she moved back to the North American continent as an Anne O’Hare McCormick Scholar at Columbia Journalism School’s Masters of Arts program for mid-career journalists. Her stories have won several awards, and one was selected for inclusion in “The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2016.” She is a Climate Change Reporting Fellow with GroundTruth.
