About Sara Lerner:
Sara's reporting covers a range of subjects, from the Dalai Lama's Seattle visit, to local controversies about racy coffee shops, to uniquely Seattle events like bicycle pie jousting. In 2008, her story on King and Pierce counties' last days to vote in person brought her a national award from Public Radio News Directors Incorporated for spot news coverage. In 2009, Sara was awarded a KUOW Program Venture Fund grant which supports her current work on a four–part documentary on human trafficking in Washington state. Sara continues to produce stories for NPR and radio shows such as "Studio 360" and "Voice of America." You may also hear Sara guide you through the day on programs like "Morning Edition" or "All Things Considered." Sara joined the station in 2005.
Prior to her radio career, Sara researched cacao in the Costa Rican rainforest, worked for a Palestinian/Israeli co–existence group in Tel Aviv, and visited nearly every country in Latin America. Her interest in travel stems from the same place as her passion for reporting: an intense curiosity about the world around us and the people who inhabit it. She says her motivation as a journalist is to continue asking questions and telling stories, truthfully.
