Lauren Frayer NPR

Lauren was a frequent freelance contributor to NPR for seven years, stationed in Madrid, before migrating to India. She filled in for NPR bureau heads in Seoul, London, Istanbul, Islamabad, and Jerusalem during that time. She also appeared on Weekend Edition Sunday as a guest host.

Lauren covered the European economic crisis in Spain and Portugal when youth unemployment reached 50%. She highlighted a Portuguese opera singer-turned-protest leader, as well as a 90-year-old Spanish Civil War survivor who exhumed her father’s remains from a mass grave in the 1930s. As French police moved in on the Charlie Hebdo terror suspects, Lauren reported live on NPR’s Morning Edition from Paris.

Lauren spent nearly two months in the fall of 2015 following the flow of migrants and refugees across Hungary and the Balkans, including profiling a Syrian rapper among them. She spoke with a Holocaust survivor who credits one kind stranger with saving his life, and she snagged a rare interview with Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader, by sandwiching her microphone between his bodyguards in Hague.

She also exposed NPR listeners to a Pakistani TV preacher, a Palestinian surfer girl in Gaza, and K-pop musicians running for president in South Korea. Lauren has also written for publications such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and the BBC.

Her international career began in Cairo, where she worked as an editor on the Associated Press’ Middle East regional desk, covering the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war in Syria and southern Lebanon. She spent a year embedded with US forces in Iraq in 2007, for which she and her colleagues were nominated for a Pulitzer Prize by the Associated Press.

Lauren took a year off from journalism to drive a Land Rover throughout Africa, from Cairo to Cape Town, sleeping in a tent on the roof of the vehicle. She was once featured on the top page of a Pakistani newspaper merely for riding her bike to work in Islamabad.

Lauren received her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from The College of William & Mary in Virginia, where she was born and raised in a New York City suburb. She can communicate in Spanish, Portuguese, rusty French, and Arabic, and is also studying Hindi.
