Nora Raum
Newscaster

Nora Raum has worked part-time as a newscaster at NPR since 1987. Her day job is across the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia, where she is an attorney in a solo law practice, focusing on bankruptcy. Before hanging out her shingle and coming to NPR, she was a reporter for Associated Press Broadcast. Her main beat was the Congress, but she also covered the Supreme Court, Presidential elections, and major federal trials.
Raum graduated from The American University in 1979 and from George Mason University School of Law in 1983. Both degrees were earned at night while working full-time. These days, in addition to her law practice and newscasts, Raum's book, Surviving Personal Bankruptcy, was published by Gotham Books in 2005.
