It's Public Media Giving Days! As calls to defund public media get louder, we ask you to join people all around the country in reflecting on all that public media adds to your life.
The NPR Network is a vital piece of the public media ecosystem. We provide:
Independent, local journalism: Across the NPR Network, over 3,000 local journalists live and work in the communities they serve.
Full, free access to fact-based reporting: With rising paywalls and closing news services, fewer media outlets provide high-quality information to those who can’t pay. We are a vital lifeline, leveraging our newsrooms in all 50 states to make our coverage available to nearly 99% of the U.S. population–free of charge.
Eye-opening conversations about local arts, culture and music: We aim to reflect the whole human experience through its reporting on artistic expression and entertainment–from beloved cultural traditions to new work by hometown artists.
Your support makes it possible for our journalism to reach your ears and be ready at your fingertips no matter where you are in the world.
