Art Silverman has been with NPR since 1978. He came to NPR after working for six years at a daily newspaper in Claremont, New Hampshire.

He is producer of the weekly "All Tech Considered" feature on the program.

  • The latest blockbuster animated film from the Pixar hothouse was a huge hit in theaters.

  • The opening of an art exhibit at Arlington National Cemetery showing more than 1,300 portraits of U.S. military personnel killed in Afghanistan and Iraq brings together artists and families of the dead.
  • NPR's Art Silverman talks to war veterans gathering at the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The memorial will be dedicated in an official ceremony on Saturday.
  • NPR's Art Silverman gets reaction to photos of grinning reservists abusing Iraqi prisoners from residents of Cumberland, Md. Six soldiers from the 99th Regional Readiness Command 372nd Military Police Company (Combat Support), based in Cumberland, were charged in March with physical and sexual abuse of 20 prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. Three of those charged are local residents -- and people who know the three say the charges are out of character.
