Subject: Question about your NPR censoring Katrina e-mail


Dave and Rob—



I’m head of communications at NPR and your “NPR Censors Katrina  
Report?” e-mail, forwarded to me by a friend, has me scratching my  
head.  NPR’s been very aggressive in its coverage of all aspects of  
the hurricane story – including Robert Siegel’s tough interview of  
Michael Chertoff on Sept 1 that challenged the Secretary’s claims,  
which has been credited in numerous columns and blogs, and September  
9’s 22-minute special report by Danny Zwerdling and Laura Sullivan  
about what went wrong (one of the first in-depth investigations to  
air) – so censorship of any kind would be truly out of the question.   
It sounds like a technical error at some unknown end, and I was  
hoping you could advise me the program and station you were listening  
to, so I can figure this out.  If you could provide that, it would be  
appreciated…and it would resolve this mystery.



Thanks,

Andi Sporkin

Vice President for Communications
