NCPR News & Public Affairs Director (retired)

Professional Bio

Martha Foley joined the NCPR as morning host in 1981, when it was still WSLU. She helped found the news department in 1982, and has seen it grow, and shrink, and grow again, to a staff of five full time reporters, and bureaus in the Adirondacks, the Champlain Valley, and Watertown.

Martha won state and national awards for her reporting and editing. During her tenure, she encouraged local news at public radio stations across the country. As a former director of Public Radio News Directors, Inc. for six years, she was responsible for The PRNDI Project, an annual training program for young reporters, and NewsWorks, training for station news departments.
