to the Family and Friends of

Nellie Moore (Iñupiaq)

Pioneering Alaska Native Public Media Journalist

We will long remember with gratitude Nellie Moore, one of Alaska’s first Indigenous reporters.

At 19, Nellie became the first news director at public radio station KOTZ in Kotzebue, Alaska, above the Arctic Circle, in 1973, when many Alaka communities depended on radio to communicate with the outside world. In a career spanning 44 years, she also worked as a reporter for KUAC in Fairbanks and KNBA/Alaska Public Media in Anchorage, the first urban Native radio station in the nation, where she was one of the early hosts of National Native News. She also worked as a consultant to Children’s Television Workshop to produce six television segments on the Inupiat people for “Sesame Street.”

Throughout her long career, she introduced local news to Native communities and was a voice for Native people.

The CPB Board of Directors marks Nellie Moore’s leadership, vision, and extraordinary service to public media and the American public with deep respect and appreciation and offers our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Gary Fife (Creek)

Founding host of National Native News

We will long remember with gratitude Gary Fife, the pioneering journalist who served as the first host of National Native News, which launched in 1987 as the first national public radio program to cover Indian Country and continues to this day.

A radio journalist living in Minneapolis, Gary was recruited by the Alaska Public Radio Network to start the program because he had reporting and broadcast experience, a deep knowledge of Native history, politics and issues, and was well-connected across Indian Country.

Gary embraced the challenge because he believed that media was a modern extension of traditional storytelling and could be used to uplift what was then an invisible minority of Native Americans. He used his platform to educate journalists about the diversity and complexity of Indian Country.

The CPB Board of Directors marks Gary Fife’s leadership, vision, and extraordinary service to public media and the American public with deep respect and appreciation and offers our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Bob Edwards

“Morning Edition” Host, 1979-2004

We will long remember public radio host Bob Edwards, whose wide-ranging interviews shaped NPR’s “Morning Edition” over nearly a quarter of a century and helped give NPR its gravitas and credibility.

Bob joined NPR in 1974 and co-hosted “All Things Considered” before being tapped to host “Morning Edition.” His authoritative baritone voice and understated delivery set the tone for what became the network’s flagship morning program. He conducted more than 20,000 interviews for “Morning Edition,” including regular talks with cowboy poet Baxter Black and former Major League Baseball announcer Red Barber, which made the program what he called “a little island of civility and purpose.”

Bob was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Peabody Award, the Alfred I duPont-Columbia University Award and CPB’s Edward R. Morrow Award for outstanding contributions to public radio. He was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2004.

The CPB Board of Directors marks Bob Edwards’ leadership and extraordinary service to public radio and the American public with deep respect and appreciation and offers our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
