New HQ reflects NPR’s shift into multimedia

Interior Design has a feature on NPR’s brand new headquarters, including all the digital bells and whistles:

Inside and out, the project is designed to tell the 43-year story of NPR the public-supported multimedia company, from its radio roots to present-day video, apps, and photojournalism. Visitors can hang out on a landscaped plaza and watch headlines scroll across the LED “ticker” mounted above the setback entrance. Or step inside the lobby, where a digital “media mosaic” is composed of floor-to-ceiling LED panels. Like oversize Android phone apps, LED tabs flash programming by and about NPR.

Behind this dynamic feature wall is  Studio One, NPR’s largest production space. At 2,400 square feet, it can be used to broadcast concerts, lectures, and theater-in-the-round or to host staff meetings—heck, perhaps badminton. Maple acoustical panels, harvested from the previous building, give a sense of warmth as they moderate the energy of the sound waves.

Earlier this year, the WSJ owner sued Perplexity for failing to properly license its content. Now its research tool Factiva has negotiated its own AI licensing deals.

There’s now a way for journalists to verify their Bluesky accounts through their employers (while still keeping control of them)

It may be too late for @edwardrmurrow.cbsnews.com, @huntersthompson.rollingstone.com, or @mikewallace.60minutes.com, but today’s reporters have another way to prove who they are on the rapidly growing social network.

Tuning out TV news might be behind the decline in media trust. (No, really!)

But: “Does falling trust cause people to change their media use, or do changing media habits cause lower trust?”
