How would one get a job at NPR
I have no experience in radio. But I would like to do the Human Interest stories or radio expedetions.

On note- learn how to spell..

1. Step1: Get journalism degree at U of M Fla.(CIA/psyops school)
Its simply amazing to see how many "journalists" on national TV & radio (including NPR) have passed through that intestinal tract in Miami.

2. Write a couple of books
There's a nature author out here who just got called out of the blue, and now is pretty regular on NPR. :shrug:

3. I worked at NPR
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 08:51 AM by seventhson
briefly when I was in law school in Washngton DC.

If you want to be a free lancer you can get their specs (probably from their website) and they accept cold submissions of human interest stories.

But they have to be up to the specs for quality.
