Reporters
Kelley Weiss is a freelance journalist based in Northern California. Her stories air on NPR's Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Weekend Edition, The World and KQED Public Radio.
Kelley has worked as a photojournalist and staff writer for newspapers but has spent most of her time as a radio reporter specializing in health care coverage. In 2008 she won a national Edward R. Murrow investigative reporting award for a series on a hidden world of illegal prescription drugs sold at swap meets and botánicas.
Ruth has been reporting from China since 2005. She has filed for Marketplace, Deutsche Welle, German Radio and other outlets and also writes for newspapers and magazines.
Ruth is an accomplished radio journalist. Prior to moving to China she worked for the BBC World Service in London for more than a decade, producing and editing programs such as NewsHour, The World Today and Europe Today.
"China never fails to surprise and astonish me," Ruth says. The Middle Kingdom is a difficult place to report from. Journalists face all kinds of restrictions and obstacles. "But people's courage and determination to make this a better place and fight for their rights makes working in China a tremendously rewarding experience."
