“I can't wait to meet the people of Southern Colorado,” Hazel said. “I’m looking forward to building connections with listeners through a shared appreciation for storytelling and public radio.”
Hazel, who was previously at Yellowstone Public Radio, has reported on criminal justice, education and environmental science. For a recent story, which aired nationwide on All Things Considered, they followed a high school biology class on a trip to Yellowstone National Park.
"I'm excited to welcome Jess to KRCC,” said Andrea Chalfin, managing editor of KRCC. “Their passion for being a morning host and speaking with the listeners is really clear, and I know they'll be a great addition to the news team."
