special notes regarding podcasts

All,

Talk about cutting edge --

NPR (National Public Radio) is experimenting with podcasts: "This service is our first step in podcasting and we are experimenting with a number of program formats. Among other considerations, many NPR member stations incorporate local stories as they air national programs; we are currently unable to integrate local and national content into a combined podcast, and thus cannot reflect the radio experience listeners enjoy - and expect - in their individual markets. Additionally, podcasting full-length programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered could be extremely expensive. Over the next several months, NPR and its public radio partners will be experimenting with a number of formats and offerings, and we invite your feedback."

And, worth reading, "Can technology close journalism's credibility gap?" --
