Houston Public Media announced that News 88.7 health and science reporter Carrie Feibel won a regional Edward R.

“I am very proud of this recognition for Carrie Feibel,” said Jack Williams, News 88.7 news director. “Carrie exemplifies Houston Public Media’s mission to consistently deliver quality journalism to our audience.”

Prior to radio, Feibel served as a print journalist for 10 years and covered stories throughout New York and New Jersey before relocating to Houston as a reporter at the Houston Chronicle. Feibel received her Masters of Science in Journalism at Columbia University and her Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Anthropology from Cornell University.
