Alum and NPR reporter Tamara Keith heads to Winter Olympics

Alumna Tamara Keith, the youngest student, at age 19, ever to enroll in UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, will head to Sochi, Russia to cover the Winter Olympics Feb. 7 – 23. Keith earned her master’s degree in 2001 and joined NPR in Washington, D.C., in 2009.

Check out a Q&A with Keith as she prepares to cover the global athletic event. Find out why she thinks she was selected to cover the Olympics (she’s not a sports reporter!) and how the J-School prepared her to cover big news events.
