NPR

Overview

National Public Radio (NPR) is an American public broadcasting organization established in 1970. It was created by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as an independent nonprofit membership organization. NPR is not a radio station but a production and distribution entity that provides programming to over 860 public radio stations across the United States.

NPR produces a wide range of programming, including flagship news shows like All Things Considered and Morning Edition, which focus on narrative-driven news broadcasting. The organization also offers cultural and educational content covering arts, sports, politics, and science. With news gathered from 36 bureaus worldwide and local coverage from more than 270 member stations, it has a broad reach and is funded through dues from member stations, private foundation support, and merchandise sales.
