Steven Alan Inskeep[1] (/ˈɪnskiːp/; born June 16, 1968) is an American journalist who is currently the host of Morning Edition and Up First on National Public Radio. Prior to being host of Morning Edition, Inskeep covered the Pentagon, the 2000 presidential campaign of George W.

Inskeep is the author of four books: Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi (2011); Jacksonland: President Andrew Jackson, Cherokee Chief John Ross, and a Great American Land Grab (2015); Imperfect Union: How Jessie and John Fremont Mapped the West, Invented Celebrity, and Helped Cause the Civil War (2020); and Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America (2023).[3][4][5][6]
Early life and education
Inskeep was raised in Carmel, Indiana, graduated from Carmel High School and graduated Phi Kappa Phi from Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky, in 1990.[7][8] His first professional experience in radio was a stint as a sportscaster at WMKY-FM in Morehead.[7]
Career
NPR
Inskeep was hired by NPR in 1996. His first full-time assignment was the 1996 presidential primary in New Hampshire.[9] Inskeep has been the host of Morning Edition since 2004.[10] According to ProPublica's review of NPR's 990 tax filing in 2021, NPR paid Inskeep $456,492.[11]
In January 2022, Inskeep interviewed former U.S. President Donald Trump on many issues including COVID-19 vaccinations; the 2020 presidential election; and the future of the Republican Party, specifically in the 2022 midterm elections. When Inskeep pressured Trump with questions related to the attempts to overturn the election results and the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Trump suddenly hung up the phone interview.[12]
