Biography
David Greene is host of NPR's
Morning Edition, one of the most listened-to news radio programs in the country. Previously, Greene
was an NPR foreign correspondent based in Moscow. He brought listeners stories as
wide ranging as Chernobyl 25 years later and Beatles-singing Russian Babushkas. He
spent a month in Libya reporting riveting stories in the most difficult of circumstances
as NATO bombs fell on Tripoli. He was honored with the 2011 Daniel Schorr Journalism
Prize from WBUR and Boston University for his coverage of the Arab Spring. Greene's
voice became familiar to NPR listeners from his four years covering the White House
during George W. Bush's second term. After President Obama took office, he spent three
months driving across America to learn how the recession was touching Americans during
Obama's first 100 days in office. The series was called
100 Days: On the Road in Troubled Times.
