About

Alex Hager

I currently report on the Colorado River and water in the west for KUNC in Colorado.

Before that, I worked at Aspen Public Radio, where I covered everything from the tourism economy and the environment to pandemic response and the X Games. I was also the substitute host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

Previously, I worked as a "fisheries reporter" at KDLG in Dillingham, Alaska. At KDLG, I produced a daily show about the salmon fishing industry and reported stories for the Alaska News Nightly statewide broadcast.

In college, I spent four years working with Elon News Network, a converged news organization that publishes a newspaper, multiple live television shows, and digital content.

While at Elon, I also worked as a sports correspondent for the Burlington Times-News, a local newspaper with a 20,000+ circulation.
