Jamie Dupree


Jamie Dupree (born 1963–1964 in Washington, D.C.) is a Capitol Hill correspondent based in Washington, D.C., best known for his 32-year radio news career with Cox Radio.

He got his start in radio at the University of Florida in 1983, doing jazz music, blues, and then news. He served as the Senior Washington Correspondent for Atlanta's WSB Radio, along with numerous other Cox Media Group affiliates including WDBO, WOKV, WHIO, and KRMG.

Before his health issues took his voice, Dupree made frequent appearances on the conservative commentator Sean Hannity's radio show to discuss politics. Hannity called him "the most connected man in Washington."[citation needed]

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.

In April 2026, Dupree was inducted by the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications into the college’s Hall of Fame.

Dupree is married with three children.

Dupree is an Amateur Extra-class ham radio operator (NS3T) and is an avid contester.

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 impacted his reporting voice. Subsequent treatments were unsuccessful, but Dupree continued to work in written form through his articles and blog.
