M.A. (1989)
Reporter, WNYC News
Contributor, National Public Radio
Amy Eddings says she owes her start in radio to Richard Bolles' career-changing classic, What Color is Your Parachute? Prior to reading that book, she worked as a legal secretary and wrote Off-Off Broadway reviews. She joined WNYC in 1998, after serving as the news director and morning news host at WFUV-NY for almost four years. Before that, she volunteered at WBAI, New York's legendary community radio station. She's a frequent contributor to National Public Radio. Amy has received numerous awards, including a 2002 New York Press Club Feature Award for her story on a church in the Rockaways, which held 15 funerals and memorial services in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks and the crash of American Airlines Flight 587. Her work and family series, "The Juggling Act," won a bronze medal at the 1998 International Radio Festival.
