Today, we sat down with Kat Tenbarge, a senior reporter on Insider’s digital culture desk. She serves as an influencer watchdog, technology reporter, and culture writer. She is best known for her investigative "Me Too" reporting on YouTubers like David Dobrik and Jeffree Star. We talk with Kat about her experience with trauma reporting, her own mental health journey, and what it’s like to report on trauma in the digital age. We hope you enjoy!
