Well, hi. I'm Bret Jaspers, a reporter at KERA in Dallas, Texas. I (mostly) cover politics. My prior stop was KJZZ in Phoenix.
My pieces have aired on the BBC, NPR’s All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, Here & Now, and APM’s Marketplace. In Arizona, I contributed to public radio collaborations covering sustainability and the Colorado River watershed. I've reported for WSKG in Upstate New York and WYPR in Baltimore. I started in radio producing segments for WNYC’s On the Media, The Brian Lehrer Show and Soundcheck.
I was part of the team at KJZZ that won the 2020 RTDNA Kaleidoscope Award for covering diversity in our community with our project Tracing the Migrant Journey. That project also won two Regional Murrow Awards, as did my 2019 story on the uproar over a viral video showing Phoenix police pointing guns at an unarmed family. Other awards include a 2016 1st Place NYS AP Association award for Enterprise reporting for a story on insurance coverage for addiction and a 1st Place Documentary award (with Crystal Sarakas) for the hour-long special The Rush: Digging into Addiction.
