Maria Altman

I’ve reported in rural communities and large cities, starting my journalism career at my hometown newspaper, The Sioux City Journal. After making the move to public radio, I spent 13 years as a newscaster with several stations, including St. Louis Public Radio, KERA in Dallas and WSIU in Carbondale, Illinois. As an editor I’ve worked with award-winning reporters covering education, business, health, science, race and culture.

I am a graduate of the University of Iowa, as well as the Public Affairs Reporting program at the University of Illinois-Springfield. You can reach me at mariaaltman@kcur.org or through Twitter @radioaltman.
