Imaan Moin
Imaan Moin reports on how climate and local policy shape everyday life in New Hampshire, connecting science, history and community across audio and digital coverage for New Hampshire Public Radio.
Climate change and how people live outdoors
Her environment reporting focuses on how hotter summers and a changing climate alter the way people spend time outside, from daily recreation to broader outdoor traditions.
In her coverage of hot-season conditions, she looks at how rising temperatures push residents to rethink outdoor plans and seek new ways to stay safe and comfortable. The work treats climate not as an abstract trend but as a practical force that reshapes routines, leisure and access to nature.
State politics and the 2026 election season
Alongside the environment beat, Moin reports on state politics and elections, with a particular focus on the mechanics of campaigns and how they unfold at the State House.
Her coverage of the candidate filing period follows would-be officeholders as they enter races and marks the start of the campaign trail for the 2026 midterm season. In broader election reporting, she contributes to live news coverage that tracks primary contests and explains voting logistics and timelines for listeners.
This political work keeps close to process and procedure, anchoring big-picture races in the concrete steps that shape them.
History, culture and community stories
Moin’s portfolio also includes reported features on local history and cultural identity, reflecting an interest in how people connect to place and heritage. In a piece on the American Independence Center, she highlights lesser-known episodes from New Hampshire’s past, drawing attention to stories that complicate familiar narratives about the Revolution and the state’s early years.
For national radio, she has reported on a summer camp that celebrates Kazakh culture and helps adopted children build ties to their roots, underscoring how programming and tradition can support identity for young people. Her work on an Afghan restaurant’s late-night café venture shows the same focus on community, documenting how a local business creates an alcohol-free gathering space and a new social option for residents.
Across these stories, she treats history and culture as lived experiences, grounded in specific institutions, families and neighborhoods.
Audio journalism and news recaps
Moin works as an audio journalist and producer, creating broadcast pieces and writing companion stories for digital platforms. At New Hampshire Public Radio she contributes to programs that recap the week’s top news, joining other reporters to discuss topics ranging from immigration and detention petitions to local political developments. These appearances show her ability to move between scripted reporting and conversational analysis, distilling complex stories into clear, accessible summaries for listeners.
Her blend of environmental coverage, political process reporting, cultural features and regular audio work gives her a broad view of New Hampshire life, while keeping attention on how policy, climate and community choices meet in everyday settings.
