Civics 101: The CPB and the Politics of Public Media

I am an editor in NHPR’s newsroom, overseeing our coverage of health, youth & education. I have a passion for stories that help connect, inform, and empower people to be active participants in their community. I am interested in systems of power, and the space between how a policy is written and what it looks like in practice. I love audio journalism because it reaches people where they are: in their car, their kitchen, or outside shoveling snow. You can reach me with your curiosities, questions, and ideas at cphillips@nhpr.org.

Hannah McCarthy first came to NHPR an intern in 2015, returned as a Fellow the following year and then bounced around as a reporter and producer before landing as co-host of Civics 101. She has reported on everything from the opioid epidemic to State House politics to haunted woods of New Hampshire.

Nick has been the co-host and Education Outreach Producer for Civics 101 since 2018, where he creates episodes and works with teachers across the country to design lesson plans to pair with the show.
