Lauren Talley - Assistant Producer, Interfaith Voices
I can trace my interests in journalism to early high school, maybe even a little earlier. I vaguely considered being a TV news anchor in seventh grade when I visited the CNN building in Atlanta. In high school I worked on the school newspaper, and in college I started out doing the same—at least until sophomore year.
It was then that a professor first introduced me to National Public Radio or at least, it was the first time I liked it. Before that, NPR had always been the boring talk radio I asked my parents to change so I could hear pop music instead. That summer I interned at Michigan Radio—the state’s NPR affiliate located in my hometown, Ann Arbor. The next summer it was Chicago Public Radio and then to the local radio station in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University, my alma mater.
