Who Says the News Has to Be Dark?

Our chat with NHPR President & CEO Jim Schachter

Today we chat with Jim Schachter, President & CEO of New Hampshire Public Radio. We discuss:

  • How NHPR has navigated changes in public media funding

  • Reasons for optimism amid a hollowing out of local news

  • The extraordinary success NHPR has had in podcasting

  • How NHPR balances informing readers and listeners about the world while not overly depressing them

  • What makes New Hampshire’s media environment special

and more!
