NPR chief international editor Didrik Schanche sent out the following excerpt note to newsroom staff:
Dear All,
I’m delighted to announce that Charles Maynes will join NPR as its Moscow correspondent beginning January 3.
Charles has been filling in Moscow since the summer. For over a decade, he has reported on Russia and the former Soviet Union. His news reporting has appeared on a variety of outlets including PRX, PRI, CBC, VOA, and ORF/Austria.
His documentary and feature work has also appeared on programs and podcasts including This American Life, 99% Invisible, Benjamen Walker’s Theory of Everything, Re:sound, and BBC’s The Documentary and Short Cuts.
He has also been active in multimedia and innovative forms of audio storytelling — most recently as a sound designer and story editor for Walking Cinema, an immersive journalism production company that specializes in location-based audio experiences.
He has been the recipient of a Third Coast International Audio Award and was the co-recipient of the Prix Marulic Gold prize for audio documentary. He was also awarded a Fulbright fellowship to Russia in 2004-2005 to work with the Moscow-based Foundation for Independent Radio.
He graduated with a B.A. in history from Grinnell College and has studied Russian at the Linguistic University in Moscow and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
Please join me in welcoming Charles to NPR.
