James Dawson
James Dawson serves as a reporter for Boise State Public Radio's award-winning news department.
Most recently, he covered state politics and government for Delaware Public Media since the station first began broadcasting in 2012 as the country's newest NPR affiliate. Those reports spanned two governors, three sessions of the Delaware General Assembly and three consequential elections. His work has been featured on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and NPR's newscast division.
An Idaho native from north of the time zone bridge, James previously served as the public affairs reporter and interim news director for the commercial radio network Inland Northwest Broadcasting. His reporting experience included state and local government, arts and culture, crime and agriculture.
James is a proud University of Idaho graduate with a bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Digital Media. When he's not in the office, you can find him fly fishing, buffing up on his photography or watching the Seattle Mariners' latest rebuilding season.
