NPR Online Privacy Policy

NOTED
DATED 2025-09-10 · VERSION 20260825_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260813_rev01

What changed, in plain language

NPR added a short editorial-integrity notice stating that it does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews, and that anyone making such an offer is not an NPR employee. This is an anti-scam warning, not a change to your privacy rights.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. + ADDEDNew anti-scam notice about paid coverage

    NPR added a line saying it never pays for, or takes payment for, news coverage or interviews. If someone contacts you offering that kind of deal, they are not from NPR. Nothing about how NPR collects, uses, or shares your data changed.

    **NPR does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews.** Anyone who makes such an offer or request is not an NPR employee and does not represent NPR.
