Here's a copy of the "form letter" reply I got when writing Morning Edition
about their mis-information on the AAP guidelines. It gives several ways to
contact ME specifically, & NPR in general. Hope they help!
Carol
Hello and thanks for writing to NPR's Morning Edition.
We apologize for the form e-mail, but the volume of mail we receive each day
makes it impossible to send you a personalized response. All letters are read
by the producers of Morning Edition. We have tried to anticipate all your
questions and have provided answers below.
-More Info About a Story?
All of our daily program listings are available via the World Wide Web and
Gopher:
<http://www.npr.org/>
<gopher://gopher.npr.org/>
We also have some material on our anonymous FTP site <ftp://ftp.npr.org/>, but
we'd prefer you to use the web and gopher areas.
If you are looking for additional information about a story, for example a
phone number for an institution featured in the piece, or the name of a film
or book, you may call Audience Services and they will research the question
for you. Their number is 202-414-3232. Audience may also be able to help you
get in touch with a reporter.
Music between segments (what we call buttons) will be added to the WWW home
page soon. In the meantime, please write a note to:
Director, Morning Edition
National Public Radio
635 Massachusetts Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20001
Please include the date and time you heard the music, the stories just before
and after the music, and a brief description of the musical style.
-How to Order a Tape or Transcript?
Right now tapes and transcripts are only available via the phone: 202-414-3232
or 888-NPR-NEWS.
We have a demo of audio over the internet from our home page. Developed by
Progressive Networks <http://www.RealAudio.com/>, it works over a dial-up 14.4
SLIP or PPP connection, and there's no waiting to download the audio-- it
plays
right away. Transcripts will be available via First Virtual
<http://www.fv.com/> very soon. Not every story is available on our home page.
If you have questions about availablity or format, please email
[log in to unmask]
- E-mail addresses for other NPR news and cultural programs?
You can get a list of all of NPR's e-mail addresses by sending an e-mail to:
<[log in to unmask]>
There is also a list on NPR's WWW and Gopher sites. We cannot forward mail to
other NPR programs. If a show is not listed, then it does not have e-mail
and we cannot forward mail to them.
We can forward mail to our staff reporters, but freelancers can be hard to
contact, especially overseas. We'll try to make sure letters and comments
get to the appropriate people.
If you are writing a "letter to the editor," please include a daytime phone
number and a snail mail address. You may also call our listener comment line
at
202-842-5044.
Please do not use this address for press releases. We do not currently have
the staff to handle them here.
Thanks again for writing, and for listening to National Public Radio.
