history

PRI was founded in 1983 with the aim of diversifying the public radio program . Originally founded as American Public Radio , PRI changed its name to Public Radio International in 1994, documenting its increasingly globalized way of working and finding topics. In 1996 PRI launched The World , the first global public media news program. With "Classical 24" a 24-hour music service was also launched. In 2001 the culture and pop music program "Studio 360" and in 2008 "The Takeaway" , a morning news channel produced together with WNYC Radio , were added. This program is produced in collaboration with the BBC World Service , the New York Times and WGBH Radio Boston .

Cooperations

PRI works closely with foundations such as the Knight Foundation . Their Knight Prototype Fund financed the software development of the Drupal- based CMS module StoryAct in 2014/2015 with 35,000 dollars . In 2008, PRI agreed a multi-year partnership with the Californian Skoll Foundation to support social entrepreneurship in the media and online.
