Steve Krueger is a 35-year veteran of print and broadcast journalism in both the U.S. and Canada.

Krueger was the youngest-ever winner of Canada's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize – the National Newspaper Award – for his exclusive reports in 1974 from the worst-ever air disaster in the history of Arctic aviation. He went on to become the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's first regional television environment reporter, with a beat that stretched from Vancouver, B.C. to the Arctic Circle.

In 1993, Krueger joined KPLU, a major National Public Radio station in Seattle. Since then, he's covered the urban growth, business and environment beats, winning numerous regional and national awards. In 2001 he was selected as a Radio Television News Directors Foundation German exchange fellow, spending a month in Europe reporting from Germany, Belgium and France.

In 2003, Steve was selected as a Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting Fellow, working with journalists and scientists at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography.
