Ed Rodgers has more than 40 years experience working as a producer, reporter and editor.

He has produced stories for regional, national and international news organizations. Those outlets include NJN-New Jersey Public Television, NJTV, the national PBS series Great Scenic Railway Journeys, the New Lede, the Outside Life Network, EcoWatch, EBRU TV, MY POINT TV, Grid Magazine, Central New Jersey Network, UPI and the Delaware Riverkeeper Network.

In 2004 Rodgers won first place in the Society of Environmental Journalists national competition for beat reporting by a TV journalist in a large television market. Ed had the lead story on NJN's coverage of then President Clinton's 1996 campaign visit to New Jersey. NJN won best newscast for that show in the Philadelphia Emmy's. Ed has won five Philadelphia Press Association first place awards for his reporting. He also was a co-producer for a documentary on the Princeton Pro Musica vocal organization. The documentary received the “Best of the Fest Award” at the 2018 Nassau Film Festival in Princeton.

Some of the important environmental stories Rodgers has broken include uncovering details of mercury contamination in fresh water fish in New Jersey. The 1994 story led to a permanent ban on eating the fish. In 2004 a plan to build a golf course and condominiums on an island in the Delaware River led to a battle between environmentalists and local officials. Several stories on the battle over Petty's Island uncovered the death of a Bald Eagle chick that was harassed by a wildlife expert working for the firm that wanted to build on the island.

Rodgers has also produced segments and programs focusing on politics such as debates and election shows for both NJN and EBRU TV.

He's a Fellow of both the Scripps Howard Institute on the Environment and the Institute on Journalism and Natural Resources.

Rodgers created Riverwatch for the Delaware Riverkeeper Network from 2012 to 2025. The weekly segment examined important environmental issues. He is also an adjunct instructor at The College of New Jersey.
