Carla Babb Biography

Carla Babb hosts VOA60 sports segments and reports the news from North Carolina, international news from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Jordan and Egypt; and national news from across the east coast. She is an award winning reporter and producer for Voice of America News based in Washington. According to Carla, “They say being a journalist requires knowing a little bit about everything. Well, the truth is, you have to know a lot about everything. Anyone who tells you differently is either so far along in their career that they no longer need to be a human encyclopedia, or they are on their way to a swift retirement. We are the lucky ones who get to write tomorrow’s history. One week, you’re covering floods in Pakistan, and the next you’re off to the horse races in Maryland. One minute you’re on the radio, and the next you’re weaving together a TV report or adding a slide show to the website. At the Voice of America, reporters get the added excitement of knowing our stories are broadcasted in more than 40 languages, reaching millions across the globe.” For Voice of America, Carla has reported from the VOA headquarters in Washington, from the White House and also from Islamabad. She covered groundbreaking news stories like Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding, the chaos erupting during Egypt’s revolution, the struggle to preserve ancient Indus ruins in Harappa, Pakistan; and the breaking news of the killing of Osama bin Laden by US forces. She completed a 90-day detail for VOA’s new weekly magazine show, Perspectives with Setareh as producer and on-air reporter. The guests were Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Walter Isaaacson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, Steve Forbes and Senator Kay Hagan. She reported across the Middle East before joining the VOA team. She explored the difficult balance between tourism and archaeology in Egypt and also covered then-Senator Barack Obama’s trip to Amman, Jordan.
