Claire Wentworth

Claire Wentworth is an investigative journalist with a reputation for asking the questions everyone else considered asking and then didn't. Trained in a city she describes as "formative" and a newsroom she describes as "character-building," Claire has spent fifteen years covering politics, power, and the surprisingly thin line between the two. Her work has appeared in outlets known for their editorial independence, and one outlet known primarily for its parking validation. She has been cited in three parliamentary reports, subpoenaed once, and fact-checked by someone who later admitted he hadn't read the piece. Claire joined The Pressive in its second year, which she maintains was a deliberate choice and not at all related to the timing of her divorce. A firm believer that good journalism is uncomfortable for everyone involved — including the journalist — she brings to The Pressive a methodology built on sourcing, skepticism, and the quiet confidence of someone who already knows how the story ends. She is currently not working on a book.
