Has Success Spoiled NPR?

From the latest issue of the Washingtonian: Has Success Spoiled NPR?

"It would be an immense source of pride for me if NPR could find in its heart new beats and new sounds -- not radically different ones, just different enough that they would belong to the people who are now 17 but who are going to be listening 40 and 50 years from now." --Robert Krulwich

"[NPR is] the retirement community of the air. What was once an insurgent radio movement now sounds like Chet Huntley reading the evening news.” --Alex Beam, Boston Globe

"NPR is run by newspaper people. Sometimes I think they don’t even like radio." --Bob Edwards
