Political Correspondent

Asma Khalid is a political correspondent covering the 2020 presidential campaign.

Before joining NPR’s political team, Asma helped launch a new team for Boston’s NPR station WBUR where she reported on biz/tech and the Future of Work.

She’s reported on a range of stories over the years — including the 2016 presidential campaign, the Boston Marathon bombings and the trial of James “Whitey” Bulger.

Asma got her start in journalism in her home state of Indiana, but was introduced to radio through an internship at BBC Newshour in London during grad school.
