Meet Gracie Stockton

Gracie Stockton is the lead producer for Morning Edition on MPR News, working closely with host Cathy Wurzer to ensure the audience in Minnesota ​and beyond ​is in the know in the early morning hours. Occasionally, you may hear her filling in on air during newscasts and weekends.   

Previously, Gracie was a TV news producer at WCCO​/CBS News Minnesota mornings and at KSTP-TV​ mornings and midday, where she also began her postgraduate career as an assignment editor/digital producer. In 2020, Gracie interned with the APM Reports team investigating voting concerns during the 2020 election. In 2021, she returned as a freelancer, digging into changes in law enforcement de-escalation training, filing nationwide FOIA requests and interviewing Peace Officer Standards and Training Board officials. She also spent time as an intern with the Minnesota Reformer.  

A Chicagoland native, Gracie moved to Minnesota for college and put down roots. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and theatre​ arts and a minor in Russian, and she completed her honors thesis at the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass​ Communication.  

Gracie and her dog Riley live in St. Paul. Outside of work, she loves to read, paint, draw, cook and collect houseplants. Gracie also enjoys a good trip to the dog park with two- and four-legged friends, followed by a local​ cider or gluten free beer.
