News anchor/producerI’m an Emmy-winning journalist who serves as the afternoon anchor for WLVR during NPR's All Things Considered. I’ve worked on a variety of projects at Lehigh Valley Public Media, including PBS39’s award-winning weekly news program PBS39 News Tonight, the digital literacy series Tech Takeover, the documentary Food Waste in the Valley, and Stop The Violence, an award-winning series about teens and gang recruitment. I also wrote, hosted and produced the Emmy-winning short film, The Future Is Female: Women, Space and NASA, which focused on the role women play in America’s space program.
I previously worked at WHYY in Philadelphia and for two Harrisburg area news stations, WHTM and WGAL. When not reporting, you can find me whipping up plant-based meals or working in the garden. Contact me at meganf@wlvt.org or 215-605-6371.
