Interesting article about Theo Baker, the Daily reporter who has been breaking these stories. Didn't realize he was a frosh or who his parents were.
Interesting article about Theo Baker, the Daily reporter who has been breaking these stories. Didn't realize he was a frosh or who his parents were.
Quote:The youngest-ever recipient of one of the most prestigious awards in journalism still isn’t sure whether he wants to be a reporter when he graduates from college in three years. He hasn’t even decided on his major yet. “I take a lot of different courses in computer science, but also English, history, and philosophy,” said Theo Baker, an 18-year-old first-year Stanford University student from Washington, DC. “So I’m a little torn. I’m very bad at making up my mind.”
If Baker, currently the investigations editor for the independent student-run Stanford Daily newspaper, does go into journalism, he’d be following in his parents’ distinguished footsteps: His father is New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker, and his mother is New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser. (And yes, he’s heard the “nepo baby” talk.)
