From 2018 to 2023, she was the Economist’s Brazil correspondent. She is a 2024 New America fellow and a 2023 Ochberg fellow at the DART Center for Journalism and Trauma.
Maslin has spent nearly a decade reporting in El Mozote, El Salvador, a village where U.S.-trained soldiers killed over 1,000 civilians in a massacre in 1981.

She will be working on the book later in 2024 while at Mesa Refuge.
