Maria McDonald
Has worked as a cultural and political affairs journalist since 1986 for US and UK print, radio, and television, including the BBC, The London Times , and The New York Times Magazine . She didn't set out to spend most of her life on her way to or from somewhere else, but now, tri-coastal, owns bicycles in London, New York, and Los Angeles, plus a fold-up scooter that goes pretty much anywhere. Sue's forays into the world of US entertainment include guest appearances on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher , two seasons as host of a late night television talk show, and three months with a messed up body clock while co-host of a drive-time news show for Air America Radio. She claims to be writing a book but won't talk about it. Her family's hamster, Ginger, currently resides in London.
Since 1995, Brooke Gladstone has worked what still is a rare beat in broadcast journalism: she reports on the media. As NPR's first media correspondent, she's examined the coverage of race, science, and politics, and reported on the battle between Hollywood and the many guardians of American culture; media mergers; advertising trends; and journalism's evolving ethics.
Brooke Gladstone started her journalism career as a reporter for Current , the newspaper of public broadcasting, before moving to Cablevision and The Washington Weekly . Her freelance articles have appeared in The Washington Post , The Boston Globe , The London Observer , The American Journalism Review , and In These Times , among others. She joined NPR in 1987.
In 1991, Brooke Gladstone received a Knight Journalism Fellowship to Stanford University, to study Russian language and culture. From 1992-1995 -- just prior to taking up the media beat -- she reported for NPR from Moscow, covering the tumultuous early days of post-Communist Russia, including the bloody uprising of the Russian Parliament. |
