Israeli-Palestinian Coverage archive
Due to intense listener interest, starting on May 6, 2002, NPR began providing at no charge the transcripts and audio of reports about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict produced by NPR in its newsmagazines and talk shows. As a service to listeners, NPR transcribes Morning Edition®, All Things Considered®, Weekend Edition Saturday, Weekend Edition Sunday, Tell Me More, and Talk of the Nation. We do not transcribe other programs or hourly newscasts because it is cost prohibitive.
There is a gap between the airing of a story and the availability of the transcript. Please go to NPR's Middle East Topic Page to listen to stories that haven't been transcribed yet.
We invite you to send comments to the Office of the Ombudsman.
