Well, NPR has decided to eliminate my role as financial correspondent. I've been laid off, along with several fantastic colleagues. I spent the past two years at NPR covering Wall Street, the economy, and financial and corporate power — and how it affects all of us. It’s a crucial time for this coverage, and I’m incredibly proud of my work for NPR. I looked beyond the daily numbers of “the markets” and “the economy” to cover the people and companies shaping them, and their real-world impact — from healthcare consolidation to private credit, olive oil tariffs to crony capitalism. I broke news, brought NPR ambitious and exclusive enterprise reporting, and provided analysis across NPR’s daily broadcast shows and podcasts. I’m grateful to have spent two years learning audio storytelling, podcasting, and live broadcasting — and how fun they are! — from some wonderful colleagues and friends. I’ll miss them, and I’ll continue to be inspired by their commitment to journalism as a public service. I’m looking forward to figuring out what’s next, and can be reached at [email protected].
