Susie Cagle is an American journalist and editorial cartoonist whose work has appeared in The American Prospect, AlterNet, The Awl, GOOD, and others.[1] Cagle is based in Oakland, California.

She has reported on subjects including the experience of living in California's "wildfire country" and the effect of climate change on drought cycles,[2] Drug Enforcement Administration raids of California medical marijuana facilities,[3] the emergence of "sharing economy" start-up companies as a form of "disaster capitalism,"[4][5][6] and the Occupy Oakland portion of Occupy Wall Street.

Early life and education

Cagle is the daughter of editorial cartoonist Daryl Cagle.[7] She went to high school in Calabasas, California, and is a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies (2005) and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism (2006).[8]

Career

She was a cartoonist at The San Francisco Appeal from 2010 to 2011, and later worked as a staff writer and illustrator at Grist.[9]

Despite holding a press pass while covering Occupy Oakland, Cagle was arrested on two separate occasions—making her the first professional journalist to be arrested more than once while covering Occupy-related events.[10] After her first arrest, the Society of Professional Journalists sent a letter to the Oakland Police Department condemning the action.[11] Her second arrest occurred during a kettle at an Occupy Oakland event.[12] At the time, she carried an active press credential from the Freelancers' Guild and an expired press credential issued by the Oakland Police Department.[10]

Cagle's work was the subject of a solo show at San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum in 2012.[8] She was selected by the International Women's Media Foundation for a 2013 Women Entrepreneurs in the Digital News Frontier grant.[13]

She has a John S. Knight Journalism fellowship at Stanford University for 2015-16, with a focus on "How can we better support the growing field of professional media freelancers?"[14]
