Radio HOF Names NPR’s King As ‘One To Watch’
King’s investigative reporting has affected change through her powerful storytelling about social and criminal justice issues. As a correspondent for NPR’s Planet Money, her work focused on economic questions that don’t have simple answers, with complex and often conflicted people at the center of these stories. King also served as a fill-in host for Weekend All Things Considered and 1A from NPR affiliate WAMU/Washington.
“Noel King is a young radio pioneer that has had a huge impact on public radio listeners,” said Dennis Green, Chairman of the Radio Hall of Fame’s Nominating Committee. “Her investigative journalism reporting around the world has provided insight into a variety of topics impacting the world. She certainly exemplifies the qualities of a broadcaster that will be ‘One to Watch.'” The Radio Hall of Fame is housed at and is a project of the Museum of Broadcast Communication, a 501(c)(3) organization.
