Lee Hill

Writer and blogger Lee Hill is a multimedia journalist and founding producer of Tell Me More hosted by Michel Martin – the first NPR program to begin as an open online project and evolve into an award-winning daily, national news and talk show with its own blog. He can be heard weekly – both on-air and online – reporting on happenings in the blogosphere as the show's "digital media guy" in the Tell Me More's Friday "BackTalk" segment.

Hill is fascinated by stories of how ordinary people, sometimes faced with extraordinary circumstances, make life work for them, or at least try. Other areas of interest include politics, faith, justice, media, music and sports (not necessarily in that order).

Before joining Tell Me More, Hill supervised listener correspondence for NPR's Audience Services group, where he strategically refocused the network's daily online engagement with listeners.

Prior to NPR, Hill worked as a writer and junior editor for The Milwaukee Courier newspaper and as a senior reporter for Strive's "Teen Forum," which aired on WISN-TV in Milwaukee. He later worked as a correspondent for "Teen Summit," a public affairs program that aired on Black Entertainment Television (BET).

Hill is a 2003 graduate of Howard University, where he studied journalism, broadcast management and economics.
