2020 • 3 years • Journalism & Media

National Public Radio (NPR) was founded in 1970 and serves as a major source of news and cultural programs for more than 60 million Americans each week through its network of 260 local member stations and directly through its more than 50 podcasts and on NPR.org. It produces the podcasts Code Switch and Throughline, both of which explore current and historical events through a lens of racial justice. NPR also has launched a Race and Identity team to report about the ways in which race intersects with current issues. This award supports Code Switch, Throughline, and the Race and Identity team, including generating more public awareness of their reporting, supporting expansions of reporting capacity, and creating Code Switch and Throughline radio shows distributed via broadcast stations. The intended outcomes of this work are greater understanding by the U.S. public of how issues of racial inequity and racial justice intersect with current events and social issues.
