Meribah Knight is a senior reporter and producer at Nashville Public Radio. She’s the host and creator of a number of longform narrative podcasts including the Peabody-award winning podcast The Promise, as well as Serial’s 2023 podcast, The Kids of Rutherford County, and NPR's podcast Supermajority, about the Tennessee state legislature.

Her reporting on race and inequality in public schools prompted a wholesale shift in enrollment and attitudes toward school choice in one Nashville neighborhood. And her reporting on the juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, Tenn., led to the retirement of its juvenile judge and new oversight of its juvenile detention center.

Knight has received numerous national awards for her reporting, including the George Foster Peabody Award and the George Polk Award. Knight was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the Goldsmith Award, and twice a finalist for a National Magazine Award. Knight received her master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.
