As an NPR supporter, I'd love some NPR folks to weigh in on the issues raised there... and maybe consider improving their accounting/accountability if some of the complaints prove valid. In any case I think NPR does/will have some problems (accounting or PR) if they don't starting addressing some of this criticism via the *digital media* that the article says NPR respects and harnesses.

When I say "best" I mean not only speed but accuracy of information. It should be interesting to see where this battle takes us in the next 5 years.

Even the most whole-hearted embrace of digital media isn't going to save newspapers, at least not with anything like their current scale, because nothing can replace the inflated market for print ads, which subsidized the real journalism and everything else newspapers do.
