Rebekah Morr
Assistant ProducerRebekah Morr is KERA's Morning Edition producer. She came to KERA from NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C., where she worked as a news assistant at Weekend All Things Considered. While there, she produced stories and segments for a national audience, covering everything from rising suicide rates among police officers, to abuse allegations against Nike coaches and everything in between. Before that, she interned for a year on Think with Krys Boyd, helping to research, write and produce the daily talk-show. A graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, Bekah spent her formative journalism years working at the student news organization The Shorthorn. As editor in chief, she helped create the publication’s first, full-color magazine.
Bekah was born and raised in rural Central Illinois, but North Texas became her home in 2016. She loves movies with strong female leads, veganizing her favorite recipes and if she’s not listening to a podcast, she can usually be found hanging out with her pup, Ava.
