What do you work on? - NPR programming.

In one book-on-tape humorist David Sedaris does a hilarious skit about National Jewish Radio, revealing NPR's implicit and explicit biases. It's a gentle ribbing but funny as heck.

To mark this milestone, NPR is reflecting on — and renewing — its commitment to serve an audience that reflects North America and to Hear Every Voice.

In the first 50 years that All Things Considered has been on the air, the ground under journalism has shifted.

In 1971, the three major television networks' evening news shaped the nation's perception of what [the powers-that-be want programming-consumers to think is] important in the world.

With no social media, no internet, but only an abiding trust in media, NPR entered a rather restricted information landscape. All Things Considered did not try to compete directly; instead, it tried to find its place, and the program took a shot at a different style of storytelling.

According to former host Robert Siegel, when NPR and All Things Considered were conceived, it was during a time when American journalism was rapidly changing:... More

I tried to warn you, but Ivanka and Jared are Jewish and love NPR, so now I'm going to jail.
