Writers on a New England Stage: Katy Tur

NHPR and The Music Hall Present Writers on a New England Stage with Katy Tur. Tur's memoir, Unbelievable, recalls the relentless pace of reporting on the unprecedented Trump presidential campaign for NBC and MSNBC. Tur became a fixation for Trump as he ratcheted up hostility against the media. Tur stood up to Trump's taunting on Twitter and his calling her out at rallies. She endured death threats, insults and other indignities from his supporters, and proved her mettle as a reporter -- now anchor. For Virginia Prescott's final Writers before she heads to Georgia Public Broadcasting, Tur shared about her front row seat to the craziest campaign in American history.

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.
