Panelist:
DAVID FOLKENFLIK
is the media correspondent of the Arts Information Unit at National
Public Radio in Washington, D.C. He covers the world of media, particularly
the news media, for NPR’s newsmagazines, including “Morning
Edition,” “All Things Considered and Day to Day.”
He also writes the “Media Circus” column for npr.org.
Before coming to NPR in November 2004, Folkenflik was a reporter for
the Durham(N.C.) Herald-Sunand the Baltimore Sun, where he spent more
than a decade. In 1991, Folkenflik received a bachelor’s degree
in history from Cornell University. He had also served as editor-in-chief
of Cornell Daily Sun. Folkenflik won the inaugural Mongerson Award
for Investigative Reporting on the News in 2002 and his work has received
top honors from the National Headliners Awards, the Society of Professional
Journalists and the James K. Batten Award for Civic Journalism. He
grew up in Laguna Beach, Calif., and his parents are on the faculty
of the University of California, Irvine. Folkenflik now lives in Washington,
D.C., with his border collie, Oscar, and he claims he was the second
choice of producers to play an obsessive-compulsive sleuth on the
hit cable television series Monk. This last assertion cannot be verified.
