So, while it would be a better use of the medium to expand the stories, I disagree that it is a horrid user user experience. It's public RADIO, not public INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA, so I don't expect that much more.

I'm talking about more people, potentially, not making a small number of reporters work to the point where they're not producing content they're proud of. Thanks for your comments!

There isn't the same sense of urgency to produce cross platform outside of NPR Washington at the member station level.
