Description
An informed public is key to an engaged citizenry and a healthy democracy. Most Americans agree that news organizations play a crucial role in maintaining our democracy—80 percent say they need accurate reporting to make decisions about important local and national issues, according to a 2017 Gallup and Knight Foundation poll. However, high-quality news is hard to find, with a majority of Americans reporting that they find it increasingly difficult to be well-informed, due to a decline in local news sources. National Public Radio (NPR) is known for providing accurate, fact-based reporting and is one of the most trusted news organizations in the country. With an extensive network of newsrooms in more than 200 member stations across the country, NPR has helped to fill gaps in local and regional news coverage. NPR also bolstered its national news coverage in preparation for the recent midterms and 2020 presidential election to ensure that voters have the facts needed to make informed decisions. The organization has added reporters and specialized beats to its Washington desk and has worked with member stations to dig deep into the issues that matter most to voters. In addition to local and national reporting, NPR covers international stories, with seventeen foreign bureaus and journalists stationed across the globe. While many news organizations are closing offices abroad, NPR is expanding its presence, launching a new bureau in the Philippines and relocating and enlarging its office in India. Over the next two years, operating support from the Corporation will allow NPR to continue to provide comprehensive fact-based local, national, and international reporting.
