Jackie Harris
Morning Edition ProducerAs the producer for Morning Edition, I produce conversations that give context and perspective to local topics. I’m interested in stories that give Granite Staters insight into initiatives that others are leading in New Hampshire, as well as the issues facing the state.
Reach out to me if you want to hear an interview on Morning Edition about an issue or topic in your community. I’m always interested in hearing from listeners about what is affecting your community and who you want to hear on our show.
