Definition

  • American public radio journalism consists of the news and public affairs programs that can be heard on noncommercial radio stations and includes a variety of formats, from news magazines to public affairs programs to listener call-in programs. At a time when commercial radio's news content is declining (generally limited to brief newscasts), public radio offers listeners a wide range of news, analysis, and discussion.
