Despite the fact that National Public Radio has reached near-record audience levels on-air and online — with 26.4 million people listening to its programs each week and 8 million people visiting NPR.org each month — due to the uncertain economy and a sharp decline in current and projected revenues from corporate underwriting, NPR announced today that it will reduce its workforce by 7 percent and will reduce expenses.

Staff and expense reductions will be made in reporting, editorial and production areas; station services; digital media; research; communications and administrative support.
