Gregory Warner is a senior reporter at Marketplace, covering the economics of health care. Before joining Marketplace, Warner was a freelance reporter in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and East Africa, where he was known for producing intimate subject profiles and illuminating radio journeys, including an experiment taking his accordion in the Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif (on a path to the legend of the Afghan Elvis). His stories have aired on Radiolab, This American Life, and other shows, and his Marketplace profile of an artisanal miner in the Democratic Republic of Congo received a 2009 Best News Feature award from the Third Coast International Audio Festival. He's also received awards from Edward R. Murrow, Associated Press, Sigma Delta Chi, New York Festivals, and PRNDI. Warner was on staff at North Country Public Radio and returned to the North Country to teach multimedia economic journalism to rural teenagers for the CPB’s Public Media Innovation project. He lives in Philadelphia.
