Early life and education
Flintoff was born in Fairbanks, Alaska.[2]
He earned a bachelor's degree from University of California at Berkeley and a master's degree from University of Chicago[2] (where one of his professors was Norman Maclean).[3]
Career
Flintoff's broadcasting career began in Bethel, Alaska, at the bilingual (English-Yup'ik Eskimo) station KYUK.[1][4] He spent many years as a newscaster and reporter at the Alaska Public Radio Network before joining NPR in 1990,[1] where he was a newscaster.
In 2007, Flintoff was included in a report compiled by MSNBC of journalists who had made campaign contributions to political candidates. A 2003 contribution of $538 to Howard Dean made their list. Flintoff insists that his wife made the contribution from a joint account. In spite of the error, Flintoff stated that it led to policy reforms at NPR.[5]
Flintoff retired in October 2016.[4]
