About this title

Synopsis

Every day millions of Americans tune in to their local public radio station, and of what they hear-news and public affairs programs, music and other cultural offerings-- comes from the National Public Radio in Washington, D.C. This visually stunning and engagingly written book traces the history of NPR from its tentative beginnings in 1971, through its financial crisis and growth in the 1980's, to its current status as a preeminent source of news and entertainment.

Review

Informative, charming, even compelling. . . It tells the story of a special institution and special people. The photographs and design are absolutely first-rate and make the book a joy for all of us hooked on public radio. -- Doug Bennet, former NPR President
