I was wondering if anyone heard back on the Fall 2026 NPR internships? Low hopes at this point but would still love to hear any updates in terms of timeline

Hard times looking for jobs :(

Thank you!

This morning came across Nawal Al-Maghafi's latest investigative reporting for BBC on the school bombing in Minab on Feb. 28th that killed one hundred and twenty (120) school children.

With exception of a piece yesterday w/ mentions about more burials, I haven't seen any significant coverage in months by NPR on the Minab school bombing. At least so far as I've found, there appears to be similar or even less reportage on the DOD's ongoing / stalled investigation into that school bombing. For which NPR by virtue of their DC connections and operations is in a unique position.

Yet NPR (along with other US *mainline* media) continues to post several pieces and countless soundbites with emphasis on oil prices and rising costs therefrom.

Where's the tenacious journalism that gave Americans persistent reminders at breakfast time about the likes of the My Lai Massacre?

That's the kind of journalism we need—not the doubling down on web & app content with interfaces that look more like IG feeds than news.

EDIT: I am, in fact, a longtime NPR listener & supporter; this is intended as constructive criticism of a *public* news organization. . . . If any of these comments strikes folks as inflammatory, well, that's probably because the mass murder of children is inflammatory, and demands better of us and our institutions.
