'Fifty and Forward: An Anniversary Celebration of NPR'

NPR

NPR grew up alongside a post-Watergate journalism ethos that shaped the media industry for decades. In this special program, 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. 

Listen Sunday, May 2 at 7 p.m. on WRVO, on-air and online.

Update, May 3, 2021: If you missed the special or would like to listen again, it is available online -- "50 and Forward: An Anniversary Celebration of NPR."

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
