NPR

Listener-supported news source

NPR stands for National Public Radio, a nonprofit media organization producing news, cultural programming, and podcasts distributed to member stations across the United States.

The network is known for programs like *Morning Edition* and *All Things Considered*.

NPR's measured, conversational tone has become recognizable enough to parody: He's got that NPR voice.
