The Press Club of Western Pennsylvania Presents: David Greene, NPR Correspondent, White House, Washington Desk

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- David Greene will be speaking to The Press Club about his experiences this year on the campaign trail. A native of Lancaster, Pa., Greene spent much of his childhood in Pittsburgh. He remains a rabid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and spends Sunday afternoons dressed in black and gold, waving a Steelers "Terrible Towel" while yelling at a television set.

Greene joined NPR in February 2005 as a White House Correspondent. Teaming up with Don Gonyea, who has been NPR's White House Correspondent since 2001, Greene's coverage of President George W. Bush, and the policies and people at the White House, can be heard on NPR programs including Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Day to Day and Talk of the Nation.

To keep tabs on the president, Greene has traveled everywhere from Baghdad to Biloxi. He flew to Iraq with President Bush in June 2006 on a trip that was kept secret until the president was on the ground and zipped by helicopter into the Green Zone. Greene followed the president across South America, Asia and Europe. He traveled with Vice President Dick Cheney to Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and saw Mr. Cheney witness an elected Afghan parliament convene for the first time since 1973. Greene also covered First Lady Laura Bush's 2005 trip to Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Before joining NPR, the Harvard graduate spent nearly seven years as a newspaper reporter for the Baltimore Sun. He covered the White House for the Sun during Mr. Bush's first term, reporting on the president's response to the Sept. 11 attacks and his management of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. During the summer and fall of 2004, Greene covered the president's re-election campaign.
