Susanne Reber

Susanne Reber joined NPR News in January 2010 to become its first Deputy Managing Editor of Investigations. Reber leads NPR News' Investigative Unit and works across all news desks and programs to build upon, and strengthen the commitment to, NPR's investigative work.

Reber brings to NPR the experience of building an investigative program at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where she led its news investigative unit since 2003. At NPR, in addition to managing a core investigative team, she is working with beat and field reporters across the newsroom and partnering with other non-profit news organizations doing high-level investigative work.

Reber had a distinguished career at the CBC, where she started as an editor and reporter in 1986. Under her leadership, the CBC News investigative unit had a prolific run, reporting about the excessive use of Tasers by police, safety concerns with prescription drugs for children and the elderly and the dangerous conditions in Canada's workplaces overlooked by inspections - earning the unit the 2008 Michener Award, two annual prizes for the top Investigative Story from the Canadian Association of Journalists, as well as awards from the Online News Association, Investigative Reporters and Editors and RTNDA.
