Patrick Roth joined WTOP in June 2017.

Before he moved to Washington, Patrick was a multimedia journalist for WSBT-22 in South Bend, Indiana. There he covered a range of stories from the 2016 Indiana Primary to the first confirmed bear sighting in Indiana in more than 100 years. He got his start in journalism at Northwestern University’s Medill News Service covering Chicago and Illinois politics.

When he’s not working, he enjoys hiking in the D.C. area’s national parks with his wife and dog and rooting for the White Sox.
