I'd like to take this moment to highlight even more stellar reporting by my colleague Mary Louise Kelly.
First, her riveting interview with Iran foreign minister Javad Zarif four days after Soleimani's death: npr.org/2020/01/07/794…

Consistently excellent coverage of the president's relationship with the U.S. intelligence community:

When NPR's top editor resigned in 2017 following the public reporting of previously secret sexual harassment accusations, Mary Louise did a tough-as-nails interview of NPR's then-CEO Jarl Mohn, holding him to task for keeping Oreskes on staff for so long:

After Maria Butina was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to act as an agent of Russia, guess who did the first interview for a U.S. news outlet? npr.org/2019/05/10/721…
In addition to being a total newshound, MLK does the most humane reporting in the wake of tragedies:
— Her reporting from Las Vegas after the shooting: npr.org/2017/10/03/555…
— Two heartbreaking convos with a photographer from the Capital Gazette: npr.org/2018/12/21/679…

This is all in addition to the daily news coverage and explanation she brings to millions of listeners every week as the host of @npratc. She is an excellent journalist, a profoundly good colleague, and I'm proud to have worked with her as her producer over these last two years.
