Robert Charles Siegel (born June 26, 1947) is an American retired radio journalist. He was one of the co-hosts of the National Public Radio afternoon news broadcast All Things Considered from 1987 until his retirement in January 2018.
Siegel's first professional broadcasting job was at WGLI in Babylon, New York, where he "did morning newscasts and a show that was part phone-ins, part Top Forty, all under the pseudonym Bob Charles."[2] After graduate school, he worked for WRVR in New York from 1971 to 1976.
Siegel was hired as a newscaster for NPR in Washington, D.C., in 1976,[2] and he has held various news and production jobs at NPR since then. In broadcasts prior to the Panama Canal Treaty debates, he was referred to as "Bob," rather than his preferred "Robert."[6] From 1979 to 1983 he was based in London, making him the first NPR staffer to be based overseas.[7] Upon his return to America, he became the director of the News and Information Department, and was responsible for overseeing production of both All Things Considered and Morning Edition, as well as the creation of Weekend Edition.[7] Starting in 1987, he was a host of All Things Considered. He took a short break in 1992 to host Talk of the Nation, NPR's call-in talk show. In 2010, Siegel was presented with the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.[8] Siegel won three Silver Batons from Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University and the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award.[7]
In April 2017, Siegel announced he would end his time with All Things Considered. His last day on the program was January 5, 2018.[9]
