Every weekday for over three decades, NPR's Morning Edition has taken listeners around the country and the world with multifaceted stories and commentaries that inform, challenge and occasionally amuse. Morning Edition is the most listened-to news radio program in the country.
A bicoastal, 24-hour news operation, Morning Edition is hosted by NPR's Steve Inskeep, David Greene, and Rachel Martin. These hosts often get out from behind the anchor desk and travel around the world to report on the news firsthand.
Heard regularly on Morning Edition are some of the most familiar voices including news analyst Cokie Roberts as well as the special series StoryCorps, which travels the country recording America's oral history. This reporting is supplemented by NPR Member Station reporters across the country as well as independent producers and reporters throughout the public radio system.
Since its debut on Nov. 5, 1979, Morning Edition has garnered broadcasting's highest honors, including the George Foster Peabody Award and the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award.
