Dave Winer is talking about wanting more transparency from NPR regarding the distribution of pledge drive money, and it’s a very reasonable request. I like giving money to my local NPR station–it’s an oasis of quality and sanity in the radio landscape–but would really like to know how the pledge money is distributed.
Not that I think there’s some fat cat siphoning off funds from the pledge drives, or that NPR executives are snorting coke off of strippers’ breasts or anything, but when you derive the vast majority of your funding from your audience, shouldn’t you be more open regarding where the money actually goes?
