Adam Rayes

Reporter, Rural and Small Communities

Email: adam.rayes@kunc.org

As KUNC’s rural and small communities reporter, I help further the newsroom’s efforts to ensure that all of Northern Colorado’s communities are heard. These communities have so much to tell us about themselves and Colorado as a whole. They’re all unique and simultaneously a crucial part of a bigger picture. Many of these communities exist in a news desert; their stories aren’t being told and they’re disconnected from each other and the rest of the region. I hope to bring more stories and voices from these places to elevate the conversation.

Before coming to KUNC, I worked at Michigan Radio where I was a production assistant for the statewide newsmagazine, Stateside. I graduated after just three years at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, which is where I fell in love with journalism.

I love cooking my dad’s traditional Syrian recipes, even though my attempts are never up to his standards. I enjoy gaming, running, tasting new beers, watching anything Sam Esmail makes and I hope to gain new hobbies here in Colorado, like skiing.
