npr.org : NPR's most basic "why" is fairly obvious: they want to inform people about the world in which we live; they want us to be aware of the political, scientific, and cultural current events that are taking place. However, looking a little deeper, there are some other beliefs of theirs that feed into their reporting. In the style of Simon Sinek, I would say that, especially apparent in their "world" and "political" sections, NPR beliefs in a democratic and progressive world in which the underdogs, minorities, and underprivileged have a voice. NPR supports responsible action to take care of the people, animals, and ecosystems surrounding us. And if you believe in those things, then NPR is the news source for you.
Hi Edward,
ReplyDeleteExcellent description of how this ties back into Simon Sineck's points. I like that you used evidence from NPR's pages and content to strengthen your argument. I think you're spot on. NPR does a good job making other people who choose NPR feel like they are supporting those things, too. Which is the whole point of a good "why."
