NPR’s Fadel, Co-Host Of Morning Edition, Speaks In Concord April 24

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) and the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law will host NPR’s Leila Fadel, co-host of Morning Edition and NPR’s morning news podcast Up First, as the next featured speaker in the Justice & Journalism series.

The conversation will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 24 at the UNH School of Law, located at 2 White St. in Concord. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with a reception to follow.

Tickets are available here.

Annmarie Timmins, NHPR’s Youth and Education Reporter, will lead the conversation with Fadel.

Leila Fadel is a seasoned journalist known for her compelling and impactful reporting. She has served as NPR’s international correspondent based in Cairo, covering pivotal moments in the Middle East, including the uprisings and the fall of Mosul. Her reporting on ISIS’s rise in 2014, particularly the stories of Yazidi women enslaved by the terror group, earned her the prestigious Lowell Thomas Award from the Overseas Press Club for her courageous reporting on the 2013 coup in Egypt. Fadel’s work continues to shed light on some of the world’s most urgent issues.

“Leila Fadel has had a front-row seat to some of the world’s biggest conflicts, from the Middle East, where she was arrested, to the Trump administration, which has declared the press the enemy of the people. I can’t think of a better time to hear from such an experienced journalist on why reporting matters and how to deliver the news during chaos,” Timmins said.

The Justice & Journalism series brings nationally renowned journalists to the Rudman Center for thought-provoking discussions on public affairs and the public servants who shape public policy.

This series is a joint initiative of NHPR and the Rudman Center, made possible by the generous support of the Couch Family Foundation.
