WNYC reporter Fertig departs

Beth Fertig

Beth Fertig, a senior reporter at WNYC, has left after over 26 years. Previously, Fertig freelanced for The World, Public Radio International, and NPR.

She also co-taught a class on radio reporting, writing and audio production for graduate students at City University of New York and has reported for WBGO and Monitor Radio, Christian Science Monitor’s daily news magazines and newscasts.

She also wrote a book about students who had trouble learning to read, and the challenge of teaching all students something many of us consider so basic.

Fertig is a University of Michigan graduate.

  • WNYC won't be the same without the insightful and thorough reporting/editing from Beth Fertig. WNYC hasn't been the the essential radio station it's once was. With Beth Fertig no longer there, there's once less reason to listen.
