This Is NPR: The First Forty Years by National Public Radio

4.0

I enjoyed learning more of the history of NPR, even if the way it was presented seemed rather disjointed. The old photos were great, and it's always kind of neat to put faces to people you only hear day in and day out. Various anecdotes from producers, reporters, and managers added to the overall story, but the format of pull stories on every other page made my eyes jump, and I wasn't sure what to read first. But after learning how shows were scrapped together at the last minute and to see how far NPR has come in 40 years, it reaffirms my belief that public radio is VITAL to the larger media landscape.
