Madeline Fox
News Director, KCURThe vibrant, diverse Kansas City metro is trying to make its mark on the global stage. As KCUR’s news director, I strive to bring you stories — wherever you usually find them — that help you stay informed, better know your home and reflect the joy of being in your community.
I previously worked as a K-12 education reporter for Wisconsin Public Radio, and as a reporter for the Kansas News Service covering foster care, mental health and military and veterans’ issues. I also covered Palm Beach County for WLRN in South Florida.
