MILLIONS RELIED UPON NPR FOR INSIGHT INTO THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ AND THE IMPACT OF WAR ONour nation and the world. Throughout its broadcasts and online, NPR responded with storytelling that was direct,strong and personal, bringing depth, breadth and humanity to this pivotal issue.

NPR journalists, including Anne Garrels, Ivan Watson, Deb Amos, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, Emily Harris, PeterKenyon, Phil Reeves, Eric Westervelt, and Mike Shuster, risked personal safety to bring listeners to the front linesof the story. Their powerful narratives and interview with Iraqis, American soldiers, aid workers and others directlyinvolved in the conflict provided depth, specificity, perspective and humanity to a complex subject. Our ongoingcoverage of Iraq earned NPR two of journalism’s top honors: the George Foster Peabody Award, which recognized NPR’s coverage for its “insight, rigor and narrative balance” and an Alfred I. duPont — ColumbiaUniversity Silver Baton.

NPR’s examination of the conflict extended beyond Iraqi borders. In an exclusive investigation following monthsof research, Daniel Zwerdling reported on harsh conditions in U.S. prisons experienced by non-citizens detainedby the Department of Homeland Security. Within days after the broadcasts, the Department banned the use of dogs around detainees and prison officials began discipline proceedings against guards. The investigation washonored with the Robert F. Kennedy national radio reporting award, an Investigative Reporters & Editors radioaward and the Radio-Television News Directors Association’s Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting.

When it's not the thud of mortars or grenades,

there's the constant buzz of a Dragon Eye pilotless

airplane hovering overhead as its video cameras beam

real time images back to the base. On the ground,

there's no time to think about the big picture.

Corporal Jason Hampton says the units know only

what's happening a block or two away, and

that's about it.”

Seeking to better serve audiences in all time zones and to tap into its rich newsgatheringresources, NPR created a two-host format with longtime, respected NPR journalists ReneeMontagne and Steve Inskeep. With Inskeep based at Morning Edition’s historic Washington, D.C.

studio and Montagne hosting from NPR West in Los Angeles, the program embraced a broader national perspective. Morning Edition also introduced deeper reporting, an expanded scope of interviews and new on —location reporting opportunities for its hosts.

Among these special reports, Montagne traveled to Afghanistan for a month-long series on preparations for thatcountry’s historic presidential election. Her work brought to listeners the rarely-heard voices of the women ofKandahar as they prepared to exercise their right to vote, the mullahs organized to support the new governmentand a famous warlord determined to maintain his power. Both Inskeep and Montagne examined the Presidentialrace in the studio and in the field, including the key swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The program’s expanded commitment to interviews included one-on-ones with such newsmakers as CaliforniaGovernor Arnold Schwarzenegger, reinforcing Morning Edition’s focus on the West Coast; Donald Rumsfeld; Tom Ridge, and John Kerry on the campaign trail. As part of Morning Edition’s enhanced arts coverage,Montagne spoke with poet Sylvia Plath’s daughter and Inskeep interviewed performers Bob Dylan and Diana Krall, among others

IN 2004, NPR ANNOUNCED A MAJOR THREE-YEAR, $15 MILLION INITIATIVE TO EXPAND OURbreaking news capabilities and to deepen our capacity for in —depth and investigative reporting.

With 35 offices and bureaus in major cities throughout the U.S. and around the world— along witha powerful network of journalists at member stations— NPR has positioned itself as premier newsprovider. This new investment builds on that solid foundation with the creation of new domestic andinternational bureaus as well as the addition of new beats. Under this strategy, new areas of cover-age will include technology; police, prisons and law enforcement; media; labor and workplaceissues; international business and economics; the environment, and a national security beat tofocus on intelligence matters.

Affirming our dedication to coverage of under —reported regions, NPR expanded its internationalpresence in 2004 to include a bureau in Hanoi, staffed by longtime NPR News correspondentMichael Sullivan. The bureau covers such regions as Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines andSullivan’s base, Vietnam.

Along with the growth of its News Division, NPR has committed to collaborating with member stations on initiatives to enhance and expand coverage on matters of local importance. Against the changing media landscape, sources for careful, in —depth presentations of local information have diminished and public radio is playing an increasingly vital role in filling this critical void.

To broaden and diversify the next generation of public radio journalists, NPR announced it Augustthe creation of The Kroc Fellowship Program, a training and work experience initiative designed toattract “the best of the best” to the public radio news system.

With on —the —scene immediacy and direct access to the issues of the West, NPR continues to offer the nation unique insights into the region and its pivotal role in shaping our national agenda.

NPR HAS PLAYED A LEADERSHIP ROLE WITHIN THE broadcasting industry in the development of digital audio technologies.

In 2004, after building the only noncommercial digital radio lab inthe U.S., NPR engineers conducted groundbreaking research intothe possibilities of digital HD Radio. Through these efforts, NPReducated the industry that HD Radio could provide local stationswith two additional near-CD-quality channels, through their existing spectrums. This research has been vital in shaping the course of digital radio.

NPR continues to be an innovator in the active research, programcontent development and advocacy surrounding HD Radio. NPRis promoting the viability of digital radio to regulatory agencies andmanufacturers, while providing technical support to local publicradio stations undergoing conversion to multicasting. Also amongNPR’s activities is the creation of music format and other targetedchannels for stations to carry.

Digital radio is the biggest innovation in radio since Armstrong invented FM

in 1933. Public radio looks at multicasting with HD Radio as more than just

a new technology. It's a creative, cost —effective way to extend our public

service at a time when demand for public radio is greater than ever."”— Mike Starling, vice president for engineering and operations

NPR LEADERSHIP IN NEW TECHNOLOGY

Page 21: 2004 ANNUALREPORT - NPR...1 IN 2004, NPR AUDIENCE REACHED AN ALL-TIME HIGH AS MORE THAN 26 MILLION LISTENERS chose NPR programming every week. NPR’s dramatic audience growth reflects

UNIQUE, DISTINCTIVE, AND LOCAL: THE SOUND OF EACHNPR station is like no other.

Every day, more than 750 NPR stations blend national programming from NPR with locally-produced and acquired showsto create an audio mix designed to meet the specific needs and interests of their communities. In an age of media consolidation, this unparalleled public service allows local issues, local voices and local ideas to be heard.

In 2004, the NPR Board of Directors finalized a five-year strategicplan that builds on the partnership between NPR and the memberstations. The plan affirms public radio’s commitment to diversity,expands NPR News’ presence on-air and online and supportsinvestments in HD Radio, giving stations even greater opportuni-ties for growth in programming and audience.

As a membership organization, NPR represents the mission ofpublic radio and the unique needs and concerns of our memberstations before policymakers and regulatory agencies. In everyvenue, NPR champions the fundamental value of NPR stations,which connect with their communities and inspire the public discourse that is the lifeblood of our democracy.

VITAL PARTNERSHIP WITH NPR STATIONS

Page 22: 2004 ANNUALREPORT - NPR...1 IN 2004, NPR AUDIENCE REACHED AN ALL-TIME HIGH AS MORE THAN 26 MILLION LISTENERS chose NPR programming every week. NPR’s dramatic audience growth reflects

NPR, INC. IS AN INDEPENDENT NON-PROFITorganization whose annual funding comes fromseveral sources:

• NPR member stations provide 50 percent ofNPR’s operating revenue in an average year. That revenue is in the form of programming feesand membership dues.

• Corporate sponsorships and foundation grantshelp to fund most of the balance. These contribu-tions, however, are also the most vulnerable tofluctuations in the economy and global events,both of which have negatively affected NPR revenues in recent years.

We are happy to report that in Fiscal 2004, corporate sponsorships increased substantially,and Foundation funding has remained stable.A complete listing of corporate and foundationfunders follows on page 24.

• The NPR Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary ofNPR formed in 1993 to help build an endowmentover the years and to help fund new initiatives atNPR on an annual basis, is assisted in its effortsby two important groups of individuals: the NPRFoundation Board of Trustees and the NPRCouncils. The Foundation annually makes a contribution to NPR, Inc. that is funded by contributions from Trustees, Councils members,and revenue generated by NPR’s endowment.

Drawn from throughout the country, the 55 individuals comprising the NPR Foundation Boardof Trustees annually contribute funds to theFoundation, in addition to helping solicit othermajor gifts for NPR. Each Foundation Trustee alsomakes a major gift to one or more NPR memberstations of his/her choice on an annual basis.

The members of the NPR Councils — a nationalsupport group formed in 2000 to broaden thebase of support for NPR and to raise its visibilitynationwide — annually contribute funds for new initiatives undertaken by NPR. Councils giving levels range from the President’s Council at $5000

through the Chairman’s Council ($10,000) to theLeadership Council ($25,000 or more.) ManyCouncil members also contribute to one or moreNPR member stations of their choice.

• The federal government provides an annualaverage of less than two percent of NPR’s budget, in the form of competitive grants fromfederally funded agencies such as the Corporationfor Public Broadcasting, the National Endowmentfor the Arts and the National Science Foundation.

Finally, fiscal 2004 was an unusual year, due tothe receipt of a bequest from the late Joan Kroc inthe form of two gifts: $35.5 million to NPR, Inc. forits reserves, and $194.3 million to the NPRFoundation to establish a permanent endowmentfor National Public Radio. This endowment maynever fall below its original dollar value. In order toprotect that dollar value, the annual draw on theendowment will be very conservative, so the revenue generated from this endowment isexpected to total less than 10 percent of NPR’sannual budget. (In comparison, the MetropolitanMuseum of Art funds 25 percent of its annualoperating costs with endowment revenue, andHarvard University funds 30 percent of its annualcosts.) Anticipating that operating costs will continue to rise, Foundation Trustees and staff willcontinue to work to build the endowment so thatits revenue can help fund a larger percentage ofNPR’s annual budget.

NPR formed the NPR Legacy Society in 2002 torecognize those individuals who have informed us that they have included NPR or the NPRFoundation in their estate planning. A listing of Legacy Society members may be found on page 24.

WWhhaatt DDoo NNPPRR DDoonnoorrss FFuunndd??Annual unrestricted contributions support NPRprogramming — programs such as MorningEdition, All Things Considered, Talk of the Nationand Day to Day — that present listeners with aninsightful accounting of the major and minorissues affecting the lives of people everywhere.

In addition, NPR music programs such asPerformance Today, World of Opera, Jazz Profilesand the new online program All Songs Consideredoffer hours of thought-provoking listening enjoyment. Donors’ unrestricted gifts provide NPRthe flexibility to go where the stories are, touncover emerging stories and to interviewnewsmakers and ordinary people alike — 24hours a day, seven days a week.

NPR also seeks support for areas of coverage ornew initiatives, as well as specific geographicareas. Donors with a strong interest in NPR cover-age from “the other coast” may designate theirsupport for NPR West, a production facility thatNPR opened in Culver City, CA in 2002. Thelargest NPR facility outside of NPR Headquartersin D.C., NPR West is the production home for Day to Day, NPR’s new mid-day show; the WestCoast host of Morning Edition, Renee Montagne;News & Notes, as well as numerous NPR correspondents. Together, they enable NPR to reach out to an even broader world of news,events, and culture through new voices, different views, imaginative programming, and multimedia offerings.

Although donors may target their support forbroad areas of coverage, NPR strives to maintaina definite separation between funders and its programming content, in order to protect theintegrity of its product, and ensure that NPR,rather than donors, makes all editorial decisions.

New NPR Member Station/NPR CollaborativeInitiative for Major GiftsRecognizing the potential power of workingtogether to raise major gifts, NPR and a numberof its member stations convened a task forceearly in 2004 to explore ways in which NPR andMember Stations could pursue major gift fundraising collaboratively.

Out of that task force emerged a design for a collaborative fund-raising project that would raisemajor gifts to benefit both an NPR member

station and NPR at the same time. Six pilot projects, involving seven member stations, arecurrently underway:

KPBS – San Diego, CAKJZZ – KBAQ – Tempe, AZWUSF – Tampa, FLKPLU and KUOW – Seattle, WAWYPR – Baltimore, MDKQED – San Francisco, CA

In addition, NPR has established relationships withother member stations to help facilitate mutuallybeneficial major gift fund-raising efforts. Donationsacquired through these efforts are handled on acase-by-case basis.

Recognizing Those Who Make It PossibleNPR is pleased to recognize its donors in a number of ways: major donors receive invitationsto the annual NPR Weekend in Washington andother regional events that give them an insideview of NPR, meeting with NPR hosts, correspon-dents, and members of senior management.

NPR Also Provides On-Air Recognition for Leadership DonorsIn addition, NPR is pleased to offer specific naming opportunities for endowment of variousspaces in its Washington, D.C. headquartersbuilding, in NPR West and for special funds and initiatives or broad areas of coverage. Allnamed gifts receive on-air acknowledgment, in accordance with NPR guidelines; physical spacesare also identified by a plaque naming the donor,and buildings are identified by inscription of nameof individual or foundation making the gift.
