Overview: Excellence in news judgment.

Some things are givens:

• NPR will be on top of the news. We make sure our listeners and online users have the latest information.
• NPR will break news. We take great pride in telling people things they don’t know.
• NPR will explain events. Listeners and online users will come away understanding what’s happening and why.
• NPR will choose stories and tell them in ways that surprise and delight.

Those are among the factors that drive our thinking about the stories we do and don’t cover.
