Dan Grech oversees the WLRN-Miami Herald News, the only public radio news department based in the newsroom of a daily newspaper.  He manages a staff of 10 full-time employees and another five hourly contractors in a complex web of partner relationships, including with the Miami Herald, NPR, and other public radio stations around Florida. He is based in Miami.

Grech's radio news department has won numerous national and statewide awards under his two years of leadership, including three investigative features that aired nationally on NPR in 2011, more than any other member station in the country. WLRN is one of the only stations in the country to host both a CPB-funded Local Journalism Center (HealthyState.org) and an NPR-funded StateImpact site (focusing on Florida education).

In September 2011, Dan launched a statewide news-sharing network called "Florida News Exchange;" eight public radio member stations across Florida have joined and used the exchange to share more than 400 radio stories. Dan is a multi-platform journalist with more than 15 years of professional experience. He's written more than 1,000 articles for The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and The Miami Herald, he's produced 852 stories for the public radio show Marketplace, and he starred in 12 segments on neuroeconomics for the public television program Nightly Business Report. In 2000, he contributed to the Miami Herald's Pulitzer-prize winning coverage of the Elian Gonzalez raid.

In 2009, Dan taught the first audio production course ever offered at Princeton University. He has also taught courses in writing, interviewing and radio at the Columbia University School of Journalism and the Barry University and the Florida International University. In 2003, Dan traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, on a Fulbright fellowship and an Inter American Press Association scholarship. There he earned a Masters degree in Spanish-language journalism.

When he isn't running a radio newsroom, Dan performs in an improv comedy troupe called Chasing Tales and is writing a book recounting his misadventures rebuilding his Miami Beach condo after it was destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
