Morning Edition
WEEKDAY MORNINGS AT 4

Morning Edition draws on reporting from correspondents based in 14 countries around the world, and producers and reporters in 19 locations in the U.S. Their reporting is supplemented by NPR member station reporters across the country and a strong corps of independent producers and reporters in the public radio system.
A bi-coastal, 24-hour news operation, Morning Edition is hosted by NPR's Steve Inskeep and Noel King in Washington, D.C., Rachel Martin and A Martinez at NPR West in Culver City, CA, and Cory Crowe at KEDM in Monroe.
