Inskeep is the host of NPR’s Morning Edition and Up First, the breakfast news show on NPR. Inskeep is known for talking to presidents and congressional leaders, but he really loves telling the stories of ordinary people, like truck drivers in Pennsylvania, coal miners in Kentucky, people being held at the U.S.-Mexico border, Yemeni refugees, firefighters in California, and American troops.

Since 2004 when he started working for Morning Edition, Inskeep has led the show from New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, Cairo, and Beijing. He has also looked into Iraqi police in Baghdad and won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for his story “The Price of African Oil,” which was about warfare in Nigeria. He has taken people on trips of 2,428 miles along the border between the US and Mexico and 2,700 miles through North Africa. He has been to Iran many times and has written about wars in Syria and Yemen.

By “slowing down the news,” Morning Edition helps people make sense of events that happen quickly, says Inskeep. One great example is “The York Project,” which Inskeep and NPR’s Michele Norris ran during the 2008 presidential campaign. They had groundbreaking talks about race and were given an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for excellence.

NPR hired Inskeep in 1996. The 1996 presidential primary in New Hampshire was his first full-time job. He then wrote about the Pentagon, the Senate, and George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign. After the strikes on September 11, 2001, he wrote about the war in Afghanistan, the unrest in Pakistan, and the war in Iraq. Moreover, he won a National Headliner Award in 2003 for looking into a military raid that went wrong in Afghanistan. He has been on two NPR News teams that won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for their work covering Iraq.

Inskeep gets ideas from the book Laughing to Keep From Crying by Langston Hughes on days when bad things happen. Nuvo magazine quoted him as saying, “When the whole world seemed to be falling apart, it was especially important for me… to be amused, even if I had to be cynically amused, about the things that were going wrong.” He was presenting Morning Edition during the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession. Laughter shows that you’re still strong.

Her 2011 book, Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi, is about one of the world’s biggest towns. It was written by Inskeep. In addition, he wrote Jacksonland, an account of President Andrew Jackson’s long-running fight with John Ross, a Cherokee chief who fought against moving Indians out of the eastern United States in the 1830s.

He has been a guest on many TV shows, such as Meet the Press on NBC, This Week on ABC, Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC, Inside Politics on CNN, and the PBS Newshour. He has reported for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic. Moreover, after finishing high school in Carmel, Inskeep enrolled at Morehead State University in nearby Morehead, Kentucky. In 1990, he received his Phi Kappa Phi degree from Morehead State University.
