The Bryant Park Project is a distinct and lively take on the news. It combines the authority and intelligence of NPR with the tone and sensibility the next generation of Public Radio listeners demand.
At its core, the BPP is a two-hour morning drive-time news show. The approach is conversational, with host Alison Stewart covering the day's news by means of interviews and signature segments. The show seeks out stories that satisfy the audience's curiosity, with a sense of smarts, humanity and fun.
Being well-informed once meant that you read The New York Times and The New Yorker and listened to All Things Considered. That is changing. Savvy audiences now follow news sources that range from The Times to Us Weekly to Boing Boing. And now, The Bryant Park Project aims to be a major part of that daily news diet. Listeners each morning can consume the show live on the radio or streaming on NPR.org. Later in the day, they can listen to archived Web audio or one of three program podcasts.
The BPP presents news, ideas and perspectives that connect with this audience through audio, video, text and photos. Online, The BPP is fostering audience interaction and user engagement, with blogs, email, and call-outs to listeners, encouraging the audience to participate in the storytelling process.
