“I think one of my enemies is the media which selectively edits everything.”
James O’Keefe, describing his enemies in an interview with NPR’s “On the Media”.
Start listening to the segment at about 9 minutes in, as host Bob Garfield asks O’Keefe to detail his heroes and enemies, then makes a point by presenting an “alternative” edit of his responses.

Forget the totes — NPR has a brand new bag. The Washington-based news outlet has emerged as an influential powerhouse in a splintering music industry thanks to the growing popularity of NPR Music, a Web site that has connected with music fans by premiering new albums, streaming live concerts and landing exclusive interviews. (via NPR the music powerhouse? Totes, dude. - The Washington Post)
P.S. Props to this editor for getting “totes” in a headline AND making it a play on words.

Schiller's fall puts NPR funds at risk
Former post reporter/editor Jill Drew on uproar over Schiller saga:
This threat couldn’t come at worse time for journalism, which is still groping for a firm business model that will support the serious investment needed to produce serious reporting. NPR, under Vivian Schiller’s leadership, had regained its footing and was sprinting ahead, producing hard-hitting investigations for the first time in addition to more immediate and compelling coverage of national and world events, with stories made accessible on the radio, iPhone and laptop.

“NPR says it’s abbreviating the name it has used since its debut in 1971 because it’s more than radio these days.”
