Cokie Roberts

A new fund in the Greater New Orleans Foundation will honor the memory of pioneer NPR news reporter and Louisiana native, Cokie Roberts, and will build a permanent funding source for radio station WWNO’s local news reporting. The “Cokie Roberts Fund for WWNO Local Journalism” was created with a leadership gift from Cokie Roberts’ family. WWNO aims to raise $1 million in additional donations for the Fund to augment the listener contributions and other revenues that will continue to be vital for the station’s service to south Louisiana.

The veteran journalist, who died on Tuesday at 75, was one of NPR's "Founding Mothers." Roberts' funeral was held Saturday morning at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.
