“The happier people are, the better their content will be, the more content they’ll produce.

Digital newsrooms have moved from shoveling to creating. Those two tasks require very different environments.

Beautiful software, even for back-end users, is becoming an expectation.

We’re moving in this direction because we now understand that better content management systems foster better content.

“Over the last year, NPR’s total page view growth has increased by more than 80%. How did we get that much growth? Our API.

The biggest impact that the API has made, however, is with our mobile strategy. The API has enabled NPR product owners to build specialized apps on a wide range of platforms and devices, liberating them from being dependent on custom development to access the content. Through this process, we built our iPhone and iPad apps, mobile sites, open sourced Android app and HTML5 site, some of which were turned around in a matter of weeks!

Fragmenting our content across different “device-optimized”

experiences is a losing proposition, or at least an unsustainable one.
