Marianne McCune is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio. She thinks of New York as the center of the world because that's how she covers it: more than a third of New York residents were born in another country and Marianne reports on the resulting cultural, economic, and political links between New York/New Jersey and almost everywhere else on earth. McCune is also the founder and editor of Radio Rookies, an award-winning series of stories written, reported, and produced by New York teenagers.
