NPRs pivot has been very successful

They appear to be a far larger organization than they were even 10 years ago, thanks to their pivot to the left, which I imagine has improved donations. My evidence is the size of their staff, which grows while most have not.

Here in AZ, we have quite a few journalists who have quit other outlets to work for the local NPR outlet. That can't be because they pay worse.

I listen to our local NPR quite a bit because they run different types of stories which I appreciate but mostly because I care more about how my political opponents think than the drivel on conservative talk radio.
