NPR grew up alongside a post-Watergate journalism ethos that shaped the media industry for decades.
Hosted by Audie Cornish and featuring other NPR journalists, we'll unpack that ethos: how it developed in the newsroom and changed over time, through today.
Analytical, critical and forward-thinking, this program tells the story of NPR's history in the context of the growth of modern media.
