NPRâs Digital Makeover
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, that's the problem. That's sort of the beauty of a not-for-profit, like
| ourselves. We're beholden to no one. No financier. Our gifts come with no
| strings attached, or we won't accept them. Nobody is getting rich off of it.
| It's a big issue.

NPR Recognizes It Makes Business Sense To Give Up Content Cash Cow And Go Free
,----[ Quote ]
| It appears that she's putting this realization to work in other ways, a bunch
| of readers have been submitting an NPR blog post explaining why it has
| stopped charging for transcripts of programs, and started offering them for
| free on its website.

How NPR is Embracing Open Source and Open APIs
,----[ Quote ]
| News providers, like most content providers, are interested in having their
| content seen by as many people as possible. But unlike many news
| organizations, whose primary concern may be monetizing their content,
| National Public Radio is interested in turning it into a resource for people
| to use in new and novel ways as well. Daniel Jacobson is in charge making
| that content available to developers and end users in a wide variety of
| formats, and has been doing so using an Open API that NPR developed
| specifically for that purpose. Daniel will talk about how the project is
| going at OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. Here's a preview of what
| he'll be talking about.

Amarok & NPR :: 13 Years of News Media Now Available at Your Fingertips
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this summer I had noticed that National Public Radio (NPR) launched a
| brand new open API based on open source technologies. My initial reaction was
| at best skeptical. I assumed any sort of âAPIâ released by a major media
| outlet would turn out to be nothing more than a few customizable RSS feeds.
| If the company was particularly progressive the RSS feeds might include full
| articles, rather than the neutered one-sentence teasers you find in all the
| big nameâs syndicated content.
