News DirectorAs NHPR’s news director, I oversee our local journalism in all formats: on-air newscasts and features, digital reporting, and longform narrative work. I am drawn to stories that chronicle how New Hampshire is changing – whether that change is political, cultural, demographic, economic or something else. I love it when our journalism surprises our audience by challenging their preconceptions or telling them something about their state they didn’t previously know. I believe that journalists, when they do their jobs well, can play a crucial role in connecting people and making communities stronger. You can email me here to share a story idea or share feedback on our reporting.
