    Morning Edition Host, Reporter, Producer at Aspen Public Radio

    Eleanor Bennett is an accomplished journalist known for her work as a host, reporter, and producer at Aspen Public Radio (APR). She served as the local host of NPR’s Morning Edition for nearly four years, where she provided local, state, and national news coverage from 7-9 a.m. on weekdays. During her tenure, she garnered multiple awards from organizations such as the Radio Television Digital News Association and the Society for Professional Journalists, including three consecutive “Best Feature” awards from the Colorado Broadcaster’s Association.12

    Bennett was born and raised in Aspen, giving her a deep connection to the community she serves. Her reporting often focused on local issues, particularly those affecting Spanish-speaking populations in the Roaring Fork Valley. She left APR in May 2024 to participate in a summer-long Spanish language program aimed at enhancing her reporting skills and expanding her ability to cover diverse communities.23

    In October 2024, Bennett rejoined Aspen Public Radio as the reporter for a new collaborative initiative known as the Social Justice Desk, in partnership with Aspen Journalism. This role involves focusing on social justice issues within the community, including affordable housing and mental health access. Her stories will be produced in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for a broader audience.35 Bennett's commitment to journalism is driven by her desire to elevate diverse voices and foster community dialogue around pressing social issues.46
