Broadcast journalist Stamberg was the first woman to anchor a national nightly news program, NPR’s “All Things Considered,” for 14 years. She hosted “Weekend Edition Sunday,” and now serves as guest host of NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “Weekend Edition Saturday,” in addition to reporting on cultural issues for all the NPR programs.
She has received many honors, including the Edward R. Murrow and duPont Awards. She has been inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the Radio Hall of Fame.
Stamberg is the author of two books including, “Every Night at Five: Susan Stamberg’s ‘All Things Considered Book'” and co-edited “The Wedding Cake in the Middle of the Road.”
One of the pioneers of NPR, Stamberg has worked at the network since 1971.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
