In 2007, Andrew helped launch The Jacobs Project for Reporting Excellence, a grant-funded fellowship that provides hands-on training for multiplatform journalists.

What are people saying about Andrew Phelps?

Andrew brings an authentic voice to radio, with a writer’s gift and a wide creative streak. His tech-savvy youth and abundant news experience make him a great long-term prospect.

I’ve worked with countless traditional media outlets on the transition into a multi-platform arena and can say that Andrew is the rare example of someone with the clarity and focus to develop training ideals, guidelines and standards.

Andrew is a versatile and talented reporter. His on air work–both as a reporter and as an anchor–is dependably good, and he is effective in live, on-the-spot situations as well as in the studio.

Andrew Phelps is one of the most talented journalists I have worked with in a long time. He has a natural ability to tell a story. Andrew knows how to use his voice, he understands the rythm of language, and he knows how important good characters are in story telling.

Andrew produced exemplary work at KPBS. Whether anchoring a newscast/airshift or producing a story, Andrew made information accessible to the listener. Where appropriate Andrew let his personality shine through and provided information using an entertaining approach.
