NPR has named Eva Rodriguez its vice president and executive editor, a role that will put her at the helm of the network’s global journalistic operations.
Rodriguez will join NPR on the heels of her tenure as editor in chief of The Fuller Project, a nonprofit newsroom that covers issues affecting women globally. She previously held various leadership roles at The Washington Post and The New York Times, managing and editing teams focused on both U.S. and international news. She will report to NPR Editor-in-Chief Edith Chapin.
As the Post‘s deputy foreign editor, Rodriguez, states NPR, led teams that won awards for their coverage of corruption in Mexico and the growth of cities in Africa.
Rodriguez said she hopes to grow NPR’s audiences, bringing in listeners who “haven’t had the chance to get hooked on NPR the way I did many, many years ago.”
