Karen Everhart

Managing Editor

karen@current.org

Phone: (202) 885-6414

Karen Everhart was promoted to managing editor of Current in 2012, supervising a team of four reporters and editors, freelance contributors and student interns. She joined Current back when Barney and Carmen Sandiego were the big stars of PBS Kids and stayed on to cover every major beat — public TV, CPB and public radio — over two decades as a reporter and senior editor. In 2007, Karen began focusing on public radio’s digital initiatives and how local broadcasters were adapting to the demands of multiplatform media distribution. After hours, she’s into bicycling, cooking for family and friends and live music events.
