KTOO Presents: An Evening with Lakshmi Singh
Join KTOO for a special conversation with NPRs Lakshmi Singh. Singh's range of experience with NPR includes serving as midday newscaster, reporting on complex social and political issues, and contributing to Latino USA.
Lakshmi will be joined onstage by Jennifer Pemberton, KTOO's Managing Editor. The two will discuss challenges facing the industry in current times, diversity in reporting and their own personal experiences. Audience will have an opportunity to submit questions for a curated Q&A.
About Lakshmi Singh:
"Singh's experience extends beyond the studio booth to domestic and international field reporting. From comprehensive coverage of the infamous sniper shootings in the Washington, DC, area to in-depth feature reporting on immigration from both sides of the border, Singh's stories reflect the magic of radio. In her pieces, Singh tries to get the right mix of rich sound and descriptive narrative to transport listeners to a place hidden deep in one's imagination.
As a regular contributor to NPR's Latino USA, Singh is passionate about issues that affect Hispanics today. The diversity questions Singh has faced due to her biracial background (Singh's mother is Puerto Rican, her father is from Trinidad) have led her to take unconventional approaches to many stories."
