2003 Achievements 2 Our Mission Financial Statements 20 NPR Officers and Board of Directors 21

NPR’s mission is to work in partnership with member stations to create a more informed public — one NPR Foundation Board of Trustees 21 challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas, and cultures.

To accomplish our mission, we produce, acquire, and distribute programming that meets the highest NPR President’s Council 21 standards of public service in journalism and cultural expression; we represent our members in matters of their mutual interest; and we provide satellite interconnection for the entire public radio system.

We faced tremendous challenges, most notably the complex demands of covering the war in Iraq and other major news 2 Kevin Klose developments. Our strong performance during this period attests to the strength of our organization and the collective talents of our staff members, who continued our high levels of service to stations and listeners despite our financial challenges and the demands of intense and extended news coverage. Our service to the nation is evidenced by our historic audience growth during this period. Over 29 million weekly visitors flocked to NPR member stations in the war’s first days to hear coverage that was both broader and deeper than that of any other media outlet. During the course of the year, NPR programs drew a record average of 22 million weekly listeners, a 64 percent increase over the last five years. Meeting our goals for the year was not done easily. Through the tireless support of NPR staff members, the active, intelligent involvement of NPR member station personnel, and the generosity of many supporters, NPR deepened and extended the NPR News experience across the day with new programs including Day to Day, and invested in our collaborative and responsive relationship with our member stations. In a year characterized by intense news events, NPR has been proud to provide insightful, balanced news programming on the air and online that helps make sense of the often confusing wash of information surrounding us every day. NPR went past the surface issues to give our listeners deeper insight into the ideas and individuals shaping the important stories of the day. We wove hard news with human-interest coverage to create a space for listeners to experience and reflect upon different perspectives on the day’s developments. Nothing exemplifies this point more than our in-depth coverage of the Iraq war. NPR covered this story from all sides, combining gripping first-hand descriptions of the action on the ground in Iraq with hard-hitting reports on the political battles being waged at home. With the news in fall 2003 of Joan B. Kroc’s remarkable bequest, the future of NPR is even brighter. But serious funding challenges remain. With the majority of those funds designated for our endowment, the gift will generate less than ten percent of NPR’s operating budget. NPR will still have to raise substantial funds each year to continue our critical service to the nation. NPR must sustain and grow our tradition of excellence – a tradition that is valued and celebrated by public radio listeners and necessary to the survival of our member stations. Our high standards have set equally high expectations, and to meet them, we must continue to call on our supporters to champion our work for many years to come.
