  Scott Detrow is a congressional correspondent for NPR. He also co-hosts the NPR Politics Podcast.
  
  Detrow joined NPR in 2015 to cover the presidential election. He focused on the Republican side of the 2016 race, spending time on the campaign trail with Donald Trump, and also reported on the election's technology and data angles.
  
  Detrow worked as a statehouse reporter for member stations WITF in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and KQED in San Francisco, California. He has also covered energy policy for NPR's StateImpact project, where his reports on Pennsylvania's hydraulic fracturing boom won a DuPont-Columbia and national Edward R. Murrow Award in 2013.

Two days after he urged anti-fracking protesters to employ civil disobedience in their fight against fracking, filmmaker Josh Fox donned a tux and accepted an Emmy Award for “outstanding directing.”
“Wait,” you may ask. “Wasn’t Gasland a movie?” It was – in fact it was nominated for an Academy Award. But since the documentary aired on HBO, as well, it’s eligible for the Emmy Awards.
After the win, Fox tweeted a picture of the statue, and wrote, “Thank you everyone for years of dedication and struggle. We’ll take the good days when they come. Now back to work stopping fracking.”
