NPR News

National Public Radio (NPR) is an American nonprofit media organization based in Washington, D.C., with its NPR West headquarters in Culver City, California. It is a national syndicator for over 1,000 public radio stations in the United States. It differs from other non-profit membership media organizations, such as the Associated Press, in that it was created by a congressional act.

NPR is supported by dues and fees paid by member stations, corporate sponsorship, and annual grants from the publicly funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Non-profit organizations, such as public school districts, colleges, and universities, own the majority of their member stations. NPR is independent of any government or corporation and has complete control over its content.

NPR creates and broadcasts both news and cultural programming. The organization's flagship programs are two drive-time news broadcasts, Morning Edition and All Things Considered, which are both carried by the majority of NPR member stations and are among the most popular radio programs in the country. As of March 2018, the drive-time programs drew 14.9 million and 14.7 million viewers per week, respectively.
