Brooke Gladstone

Brooke Gladstone is co-host and managing editor of National Public Radio’s “On the Media,” heard by about a half-million listeners across the country each week. She started her career in radio in 1987, as senior editor of NPR’s “Weekend Edition with Scott Simon,” then moved on to the same job at the network’s daily news magazine, “All Things Considered.” After spending a blissful year on a Knight Fellowship at Stanford University in 1991-92, she reported from Moscow from 1992-1995 on post-Soviet chaos, including the bloody insurgency of the Russian Parliament, for NPR. When she returned, she was given the job of NPR’s first (and, so far, only) media reporter. After six years at that post, she moved to “On the Media,” produced at WNYC, New York. Gladstone started out as a print reporter and editor in Washington, covering several beats, including national security issues, the arts, and the cable and public broadcasting industry. She has also freelanced on a variety of topics for The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The London Observer, American Journalism Review, Channels and In These Times, among others.

What fellows have to say about past seminars:
"I was most impressed with the structure of the program - how each speaker built on what we'd learned from the prior ones - and how together we saw all sides of issues I didn't realize were so complex (despite 20 years in the business). I know this will allow me to ask better questions, and isn't that what we all need to do better - ask the right questions and then listen."
