In this episode, we talk to Aurora Almendral about her four-part investigative series, “Merchants of Care,” produced in partnership with Quartz and the Pulitzer Center. Almendral speaks about how she learned about the nursing crisis, how she got in contact with the nurses she spoke to for the series, and her advice for reporters who want to pursue ambitious investigative projects. This conversation has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
