Reporting FellowEmail: b.cronin@npr.org
I’m a reporting fellow visiting from National Public Radio. I work on newscast, covering breaking news and important stories affecting communities in the Front Range.
Before coming to KUNC I worked as a business reporter at National Public Radio and as a producer on the daily economics podcast The Indicator from Planet Money, where I famously reported on hotdogs and McFlurries.
I’m a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, and the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
Outside of work you can find me hanging with my girlfriend and foster cat or drawing pictures of them.
