Noel King Biography

Noel King is an American broadcast journalist whose career includes reporting from significant international locations. King began her radio career in Khartoum as a freelance journalist for Voice of America, covering regions throughout Sudan. She later moved to Kigali, reporting on Rwanda's economic and social changes and conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo. King also covered Egypt's uprising and its aftermath for PRI's "The World," CBC, and BBC. This period of international reporting, which included conflict zones, political upheaval, and economic transformation, shaped King's approach to journalism.

King joined NPR from Marketplace as a correspondent for "Planet Money," where she reported on topics such as police brutality, institutional responses to slavery, and foreign investment in rural America. She was also part of the team that launched "The Takeaway," a live news show from WNYC and PRI. During her tenure as managing producer, the show's coverage of race in America received an RTDNA UNITY Award.

King served as a host of NPR's "Morning Edition" and "Up First." She became the first host of color in the history of "Morning Edition." Her work included coverage of the refugee crisis at the border, interviews with figures such as Janet Yellen, and stories on racial justice. At NPR, King focused on interviewing and coverage of domestic policy, international affairs, and economic issues. Her contributions led to team awards, including an Edward R. Murrow Award for U.S.-Mexico border reporting and a Gracie Award for features in Minneapolis. She was also a duPont-Columbia finalist for reporting on the "Remain in Mexico" policy and received the Radio Hall of Fame's One to Watch honor.

King is co-host and editorial director of the podcast and radio show "Today, Explained" for Vox. In this role, she sets the show's editorial direction, develops special series, and reports on a range of topics. With a career spanning international conflict reporting and American public radio, King is recognized for making complex stories accessible to a broad audience in the field of broadcast journalism.
