Jamie Dupree – Wiki, Bio, Age, Wife, Net Worth

In November 2018, Dupree was honored by the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association (RTCA) with its 2018 Career Achievement Award for Distinguished Reporting on Congress.

With no resolution to his speech condition on the horizon, Dupree and his coworkers began looking for high tech solutions. The Scotland-based technology firm CereProc had the solution. CereProc processed hundreds of audio files of Dupree’s previous reporting to produce a sophisticated text-to-speech program to synthesize Dupree’s distinctive voice. On June 18, 2018, Dupree returned to the airwaves using the program which was dubbed Jamie Dupree 2.0.

In April 2016, Dupree noticed that his voice began to falter after becoming ill on a family vacation in the UK. His voice became scratchy and high, then he quickly lost the ability to speak coherently. He continued working by use of note cards to interview news makers. In April 2017, he was diagnosed with tongue protrusion dystonia, a rare neurological condition that robbed him of his smooth baritone reporting voice. Subsequent treatments yielded no success, but Dupree continued to work in written form through his articles and blog.

Dupree began his career as a radio broadcaster in 1983. He serves as the Senior Washington Correspondent for Atlanta’s WSB Radio, along with numerous other Cox Media Group affiliates including WDBO, WOKV, WHIO, and KRMG. He actively maintains a news blog, Jamie Dupree’s Washington Insider, which is available through Cox affiliate websites. Dupree maintains a significant social media presence through Facebook and Twitter.
