Dave Mattingly

Dave Mattingly is an NPR News anchor, responsible for seven newscasts daily on weekday mornings. Prior to anchoring NPR newscasts in 2014, Mattingly worked 19 years in NPR's newscast unit — primarily as a producer.

Mattingly was producing NPR's morning newscasts during the initial hours of the Sept. 11 terror attacks – the coverage of which earned NPR a 2001 Peabody Award.

Mattingly came to NPR in 1995 as a newscast editor and producer. Prior to NPR, he was a Capitol Hill correspondent for the Standard News Radio Network in Washington, DC, covering the House of Representatives. He was also a newscast editor and anchor at the Unistar Radio Networks in Arlington, Virginia, and was news director and anchor at WINC AM-FM in Winchester, Virginia.

The Radford University graduate has received a number of awards for his work from the Virginia Associated Press Broadcasters and has been inducted into WVRU Wall of Fame at his alma mater. He is a dedicated alum who, along with his wife, established the Mattingly Scholarship for WVRU to assist students at Radford University who are pursuing a career in broadcasting and broadcast journalism.
