On May 7th, we'll be making slight changes to the post page on Core Publisher that sets the API configurations.

Back in April of 2015, we shared some initial research on the impact of stations supplementing their local coverage with syndicated content from the NPR API. Last month, we revisited the initial question that prompted this research: What role does content syndication play in the performance of station sites?

As the industry shifts from increased reliance on mobile technology, smart speakers, and the Internet of Things, creating robust, flexible content is more important than ever. Even in the realms of the web, the single biggest factor of your traffic is the amount of local, relevant content available on your site.

Today marks the long-anticipated launch of the new NPR app (formerly the NPR News app) for iOS.

To be good stewards of our public funding, we should ask ourselves what’s the right balance of campaign messaging versus clear delivery of our content.
