Misinformation and disinformation are becoming increasingly difficult to avoid. Attacks on fact-based journalism and the slow blurring of lines between truth and fiction are dangerous.
The existence of NPR and, crucially, NPR stations, is a bulwark against this:
As paywalls rise elsewhere, even on the most essential of news updates, our quality reporting remains freely accessible to all, regardless of anyone's ability to pay.
Our newsrooms are fiercely independent. Corporate interests don’t decide what gets published on our digital platforms or on air.
We keep you accurately updated about what’s going on in your area and around the world. Journalists across the NPR Network get you as close to the story as possible by speaking with people and leaders in communities and witnessing events firsthand
When NPR and NPR stations thrive, people are more informed and the powerful are held to account. With public media facing a future without federal funding, you are a crucial partner in bringing the truth to light.
