CPB supports NPR’s international reporting to cover complex geopolitical issues, conflicts, and major events around the world—news that supplements the local and regional coverage provided by public media station newsrooms. Each year, NPR produces approximately 2,500 audio and digital-first stories with a focus on international interest. Thousands of international stories published on the NPR website have been enhanced by on-the-ground visual reporting and digital-first products, providing audiences with greater insights on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, U.S.-China relations, the global struggle for democracy, and the impacts of migration, natural disasters, and food insecurity worldwide, among other urgent matters of importance.
