Plattsburgh and Champlain Valley Correspondent
Zach Hirsch came to NCPR in September 2013, and opened The Plattsburgh news bureau the following year.
Before joining the team, Zach hosted a community radio show in Burlington, VT; freelanced for an NPR station in New York City; and attended the Transom Story Workshop, a radio training program with Atlantic Public Media in Woods Hole, MA. During the two-month workshop, he reported on the psychological aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing. His profile of two survivors was at the center of an hour-long discussion on WCAI's The Point.
Zach's work has also aired on NPR's All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Public Radio Remix, the HowSound podcast, WFUV, and New Hampshire Public Radio. He has a degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Vermont.
