Laura Bolger has been working with War News Radio since the beginning of 2008. A freshman at Swarthmore, she is planning to major in Political Science and Psychology.

Laura plans to work for War News Radio throughout her college career, and hopes to cover many interesting stories on the international level. She is particularly intrigued by the re-building of the Iraqi health care system. Her first story was about Iraqi children receiving treatment for heart disease outside the country.
