National Public Radio (NPR) Goes Mobile
by
Timothy S. Hillebrand, Ph.D.
While NPR is to be applauded for its new mobile Website, it fails to take advantage of most of the features that make mobile technology so powerful and is losing market and money as a result. NPR needs to embrace the full power of mobile technology.

Juan Williams, Fox News, NPR, and a PR Disaster
by
Anthony Mora
Whether you agree or disagree with NPR's dismissal of Juan Williams, how they dismissed him has all of the makings of a public relations disaster, and one that could have been avoided. In this case it's how and not the what that is the issue. This media perfect storm could not have worked better if Fox's Roger Ailes had staged it himself. There's a thought.

NPR and Financial Dilemma
by
Lance Winslow
National Public Radio is in crisis, they need money. Like other radio shows of this type, apparently they have difficulty getting funding, but why is that? After all, if the radio show becomes an informational gift to the population, surely it is worthy of funding and donations correct? Well, not necessarily, for instance if the show skews it's programming on one particular direction, then we might call it a propaganda machine. But is that a fair label to render upon NPR?

GOP Wants To Defund NPR Over Juan Williams' Firing
by
Egberto Willies
Juan Williams, the NPR and Fox News "journalist" that was fired when he said the following to Bill O'Reilly when asked about whether the United States was facing a Muslim Dilemma, "I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried.

Comic Mike Birbiglia is an NPR Favorite - For Good Reason
by
Melanie Young
Mike Birbiglia is an observational comic who is often heard on NPR's This American Life. If you listen to his comedy, it becomes clear why Birbiglia's style is a particularly good fit for NPR's style.

NPR in a Nutshell
by
Gene Lalor
The New York Sun predicted back on October 23, 2010 that the current Republican effort to defund National Public Radio just may succeed even though previous attempts at cutting off NPR from the public trough have failed and despite the fact "the recipients of taxpayer funding will try to make a constitutional case that they can not be cut off for content." NPR and its primary money supplier, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, CPB, which itself is itself federally funded, have yet to make that freedom of the press/speech case but give it time. As of now, NPR is boasting that it doesn't need government subsidies. We should take it at its word and end them.

Juan Williams Fired BY National Public Radio
by
Joseph Bruno
This is a perfect example of political correctness gone amok. Juan Williams, a best selling author of several books on the civil right movement in America, was fired from his job at National Public Radio for comments he made on the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. Williams, an African American and self-proclaimed moderate liberal, spoke in answer to a question from Bill O'Reilly as to whether O'Reilly was right when he said the previous week on "The View" that Muslims attacked us on 9/11.

'National' Public Radio's Local Franchises
by
Larry M. Elkin
If you want a new Cadillac, you can't go to the General Motors website and order one from the factory. You have to go to a franchised dealer. And if you are driving your Cadillac on a lonely stretch of Interstate and you want to get your evening news from National Public Radio's All Things Considered, you can't tune your satellite radio to its NPR channel and listen. Satellite offers only the B-list NPR shows. To get the top sellers on your radio, you need to tune to a nearby public radio station. Those local stations (often organized into statewide groupings) are NPR's franchised dealers.

When Reporters Enter The Story, It's Bad News
by
Larry M. Elkin
There was a time when news reporters did their job by interviewing sources. They competed with one another to be first on the street with the biggest news. These days, reporters often interview other journalists - a practice that is often pointless and sometimes destructive, as the recent row between NPR and its former "news analyst," Juan Williams, vividly demonstrated.
