DescriptionNews and Entertainment, Digital Media, Programming, and Engineering - NPR is an internationally recognized producer and distributor of news, information, digital media programming, and one of the industry leaders in sound gathering and audio production. DETAILED INFORMATION ON NPR'S PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS CAN BE FOUND ON NPR.ORG IN THE "ABOUT" SECTION. During this fiscal year NPR programming, including more than 120 hours of original broadcast content each week, was PRESENTED ON more than 900 public radio stations in the United States reaching a weekly audience of more than 33 million people AND covers 93% of U.S Designated Market Areas (DMA). NPR produces and distributes 29 news, talk, music and entertainment programs which account for approximately 41% of listening across public radio airwaves. Additionally, NPR is heard on satellite and digital radio internationally in more than 150 countries as well as BY U.S. military and their families through American Forces Radio, the web and other international services. Programs distributed by NPR include: Morning Edition, All Things Considered, All Things Considered-Weekend, Weekend Edition Saturday, Weekend Edition Sunday, Talk of the Nation, Tell Me More Fresh Air, The Diane Rehm Show, Car Talk, Wait WaitDon't Tell Me!, On Point, Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, Thistle & Shamrock, World of Opera, and NPR Newscasts 24 hours a day. NPR funds its operation through its own revenue-generating activities. Typically, unrestricted operational revenue is derived from program fees paid by the stations. The balance of NPR's annual revenue comes from corporate sponsorships, grants and contributions from private foundation, competitive grants, and major donors. The NPR Digital Media Division expands NPR's public service by offering NPR content free of charge on the web, mobile devices and other emerging digital platforms. Content includes real-time news reports, live streams and on-demand downloads of NPR and member station audio reports, archival audio spanning more than a decade, original feature stories, additional information and insight into reports airing on NPR programs, commentary, and content exclusive to the internet. NPR.org also enables visitors to locate the local NPR member stations, as well as find areas where NPR can be heard globally. NPR has collaborated with the member stations to showcase the breadth and depth of programming through the NPR music service, including live streaming of concert and other music events. NPR maintains an open application programming interface (API) that enables member stations and the general public to make non-commercial use of NPR content on other digital platforms of their choosing. Also in collaboration with NPR member stations, the CPB-funded Project Argo has been created to unlock the potential of the national and local public media system. Project Argo is a collection of twelve websites created by NPR member stations committed to strengthening local journalism. The sites cover a range of topics including global health, climate change, public safety, local music and more. The recently launched NPR News and Music apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android platforms create a place to experience station and NPR content that is uniquely organized by News, Music, and Arts & Life categories, with audio and visual content that is broad, deep and timely. The NPR Music app is a place to engage, explore and discover music of many genres. Music, news and reviews can be read while listening to interviews, live concerts or exclusive streams of albums before they are released. The News Android app was developed as an Open Source app and continues to be a community created experience. The iPhone and iPad apps have continuously ranked in the top 10 free news apps in the app store. NPR2 is NPR's satellite radio programming unit, responsible for providing two 24-hour channels on Sirius/XM Radio, a digital satellite to vehicle broadcasting system. The two channels, NPR Now and NPR Talk, feature a mix of nationally and locally produced public radio programs. NPR2 seeks to extend NPR's service to listeners in this platform and build new diverse audiences for public radio. Engineering provides technical support for the production of NPR's programs and reporting staff. There are 2 primary activities of this department. The first is to assist and support the production of NPR content. This includes recording, interviews, combining audio elements, routing necessary audio throughout NPR, archiving and duplicating programs, providing onsite support for production issues, and all necessary technical production needed for the broadcasts of NPR produced programming. This is accomplished by staffing and managing production centers located in DC, NY, and LA. The second primary activity is the building and maintenance and repair of technical facilities. This includes more than 14,500 items of equipment and over a million feet of interconnection of wiring and circuits.Description

DescriptionDistribution Services and Satellite Interconnection - NPR's Distribution Division operates and manages the Public Radio Satellite System (PRSS). THE PRSS is a combined satellite and internet content distribution service that distributes public radio programming and related digital content. In addition to its regular operations, Distribution manages grant funded National Project Initiatives in support of the PRSS activities. Related digital content is comprised of NPR's content as well as content from other program producers and independent (non-institutional) radio producers. The PRSS is available to public radio users, regardless of size, income, organization or programming affiliation. The annual operations of the PRSS are entirely self-supporting based on the fees paid by both public and commercial clients. NPR Labs Engineering Group is recognized internationally as a radio technology authority. The multicasting capability developed by NPR Labs enables all radio stations, commercial and non-commercial, to offer multiple streams of programming on one channel free to the public. More NPR-initiated innovations in digital radio are currently underway, including grant funded projects to develop accessible media services for those with hearing and vision impairments. In November 2008, NPR performed what it believes to be the world's first nationwide test of live captioned radio for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Since then, NPR Labs was asked by the Helen Keller National Center to develop a Braille Radio Service demonstration, which has been prototyped for integration with the pending launch of Captioned Radio services. An additional recent project of note has been the development and demonstration of a Personalized Audit Information Service, which uses XML tags for storing individual stories in over 100 topical categories for on demand use by blind and low vision users. NPR Labs is also pioneering Location Based Services for local public radio stations to be able to offer advanced traffic navigation, weather and event alerting, including AMBER alerts in the critical hours after a child abduction. NPR Labs is known for state of the art propagation mapping services and is currently defining data service reach across the U.S for public TV and public radio, as well as supporting Mexico's introduction of digital radio transmissions.Description

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSFORM 990, PART III, LINE 4DOther program service accomplishments include Software Development, Policy & Representation, Consumer Products and NPR Digital Services. NPR Digital Services works with public broadcast stations to grow and engage audiences across platforms by providing world-class content, technology and business support. NPR Digital Services enables stations to provide more value to their current audience and to engage opinion makers and thought leaders more deeply by freeing stations to focus on mission-derived local content, brand positioning and revenue development. NPR Digital Services renders digital tools and services for public radio stations and producers such as providing continuously improving marketing and donation products, publishers that allow for ease of website management, and the tracking and reporting of public radio streaming figures. Scrum, an agile software development process that fosters accountability, visibility, improved quality and is based on the notion of "high velocity", self-managed teams, has been fully adopted and applied to all of NPR's software development efforts.
MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATIONFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6Independently licensed and operated public radio stations become NPR Members by paying dues to NPR; in exchange they may vote to elect members of the NPR Board of Directors, and they benefit from broadcast and digital rights negotiated on their behalf as well as terms of serviceS extended only to Members.
