Scott Canon
Managing Editor, Kansas News ServiceAs the editor of a statewide news outlet, I aspire to work with our reporters to give Kansans a clear-eyed view of the place they call home. That means delivering hard-hitting stories that expose those things that keep Kansas from being the most vibrant, healthy place it can be. You can reach me at scott@kcur.org or 816-235-8023.
I spent most of my career as a newspaper reporter covering regional, national and international stories. I moved to public radio as the digital editor for the then-fledgling Kansas News Service in 2018. Now, I'm the KNS managing editor, overseeing the work of reporters across the state.
