Amina Elahi

News WFPL-FM/Louisville hires Amina Elahi to join its 13-person newsroom, where she will cover local government, public institutions and the city's changing economy. She replaces Jacob Ryan, who has covered city affairs for WFPL for the past two years. Elahi most recently served as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune's Blue Sky Innovation team. She's also written about startups for the Chicago Sun-Times and other Chicago-based news sites.

"I am excited to join the WFPL newsroom and contribute to telling the city's most important stories," said Elahi. "From breaking news to uncovering the decisions that affect Louisville residents day-to-day, I look forward to adding my voice to the local conversation."

"Amina has an impressive record of covering dynamic, growing economies and the forces driving them," said LPM Executive Editor Stephen George. "Louisville is in a period of transition, where government and private forces are coming together to shape our future. Amina's beat is at the intersection of those forces, and I'm thrilled to welcome her to our team."
