Robyn Murray Email & Phone Number

I am the editor and publication manager for several foundation publications that go out to top university supporters. I work with a team of writers, photographers and designers from story conception to publication, strategizing and executing content that engages and inspires readers, showcases top university priorities and highlights the impact of private philanthropy. Recently, I spearheaded the development of a new website to make our content more engaging, interactive and accessible. I also work on major gift proposals on the development communications team and have helped raise more than $100 million to support students, faculty and programs at the University of Nebraska.

I write about the University of Nebraska and those who support it for the foundation's external publications. I also write and design fundraising proposals and case statements.

Omaha, Nebraska, United States

I copy edit and fact-check for several national companies, specializing in financial services.

I have extensive experience as an international, multimedia journalist focused on social and civic journalism. From in-depth features in radio to cover spreads in print to photo galleries on the web, my work has ranged from coverage of refugees resettling in Omaha, Neb., artists creating sculptures from tornado rubble in Joplin, Mo., the dearth of housing in South Africa to alcoholism on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. In 2013, I covered global icon Nelson Mandela's death and state funeral for Public Radio International (PRI) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).My work has also been broadcast on NPR, BBC, WBUR in Boston, WNYC in New York, NET Radio and Television in Lincoln, Neb. My print work has appeared in USA TODAY, Business Day (Johannesburg), PRI.org, Omaha Magazine and The Reader.

Greater Omaha Area

I was the editor for all news content published in The Reader until its last issue, September 2023. I worked with our team of writers to establish editorial direction and edit their work. Our team created a series of stories for the (DIS)Invested project, in which we analyzed historic inequities in Omaha and how to change them.

I supervised and trained a team of professional and student reporters while transforming a fledgling public radio newsroom into an award-winning department. I was responsible for all daily content, which included producing and editing news and arts desk stories for broadcast and web and hosting daily newscasts. Our team received more than 60 awards from local, regional and national competitions, including Public Radio News Directors Inc. (PRNDI), Northwest Broadcast News Association, Nebraska Broadcasters Association, Great Plains Associated Press and Omaha Press Club. I established news partnerships across Nebraska and contributed several reports to national media, including NPR’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered and WBUR’s Only a Game.
