Re: [Swprograms] Will NPR replace the VOA as America's English-languagevoice?

My reaction is much less positive. Of course the VOA was biased, but in the
predictable direction of pro-US. The poor Germans will never know if NPR is
correctly portraying US policy or their own agenda. :/

NPR to replace the VOA in Berlin...

This is something I have long recommended... since the developed world
would benefit more from NPR's programming than the VOA's programming
in terms of information, education and entertainment.

Why?  Because NPR has already invested in the programming... might as
well leverage that investment and then have the VOA produce
programming that is not within the scope of any other broadcasters.

Oh, wait.  That's what they plan to do...at least the second half of
that...by focusing on Arabic services.
