From The Atlantic.

When she was 12 years old, Ashley Parker told her parents that she thought she could write an article that could be published in a major magazine.

Now an Atlantic staff writer, Parker gives readers insight into her writing process, the most important skills for a reporter to develop—and what it was like to be on a jog as the president attacked her on Truth Social.

This is “Behind the Byline”: a new series from The Atlantic that lets you get to know the people behind our journalism. Hear from Atlantic staff and learn about their interests, their curiosities, and their quirks.
