NPR is funded by underwriters, donors, government grants, and licensing their content to affiliate stations. It’s actually really interesting to see how they’ve cobbled it together. So yeah it’s free for you and me but a lot of money is actually flowing back and forth.

Point being there are a lot of ways to fund things!

    My point is they don't have to rely on paywalls. And I don't know about The Guardian, but NPR isn't trying to make a profit, which is probably part of it. Anyway, I use it for a lot of my news. It's not wholly impartial, but it tries a lot harder than most American news outlets.
