Eve Zuckoff is WBUR's city reporter, covering Boston politics, breaking news, and enterprise stories. She’s covering City Hall and the mayoral race, and keeping an eye on all things Boston, from neighborhood issues to the cost of living and policies that affect the lives of residents.
Previously, Eve covered the environment and human impacts of climate change across Cape Cod, the coast and islands for NPR’s CAI. After joining the station in 2019 as a Report For America Corps member, Eve delivered stories on rising temperatures, critically endangered North Atlantic right whales, controversy over a proposed military machine gun range and the plight of migrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard.
Her work has earned three National Edward R. Murrow Awards and 10 National PMJA First Place Awards, among other honors.
This is a return to WBUR for Eve. She contributed to the first season of “Last Seen,” a 10-part-investigative podcast about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist produced by WBUR and The Boston Globe. A Boston University graduate, she also worked as a freelance producer on Radio Boston.
