"Several people within NPR said the network has been planning scenarios for alternative levels of job cuts, though no plans are currently set. Executives also are trying to figure out the degree to which the network could rely more heavily on reporters from local stations for national coverage, staffers said. (They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on internal matters.) The ability to do so could be complicated by two factors: the fact that covering the same story often requires a different emphasis for local audiences familiar with a subject, as opposed to a national audience; and the additional strain on local newsrooms, which are often quite small, as a result of the loss of federal funds."
