Abstract: Abstract Is NPR, having weathered political assaults for half a century, eternal? The conclusion surveys a range of policy options from left, right, and the independent center. In an age of Sirius radio, online streaming, and a Podcast in every earbud, even NPR's friends are proposing reformation, sometimes along the lines of those early apostles of educational radio. Meanwhile, those who view it as superfluous, didactic, or unconstitutional have renewed their efforts to end once and for all the federal subsidy of public radio. Those weather forecasts to Midwestern farmers are a thing of the past. But has federally subsidized educational radio also outlived its usefulness? And even if it has, has it become politically impregnable?
