SHORT BIO

Nova Safo is a correspondent for Marketplace, and co-host of the “Marketplace Minute” newscast.

He returned to Marketplace after a three-year detour at the international news wire service Agence France-Presse, where he was a Midwest correspondent covering 16 states and serving thousands of clients in print, online news, and broadcast TV and radio. 

He has also been a correspondent for the now-shuttered CNN Radio, a staff journalist at NPR and Yahoo! News, and freelancer for SoundVision Productions, LA Public Media (a project of the CPB and Radio Bilingue) and other outlets.
