Ombudsman's Report: March 2003

Highlights:

• 11,510 e-mails received since November 2002.
• Criticisms about NPR's Middle East reporting have diminished, but remain a concern for many.
• Other issues emerging, specifically around NPR's reporting of the possibility of war in Iraq. By far the majority writes to urge NPR to report what they perceive as a growing anti-war movement.
• In a related trend, there have been more e-mails accusing NPR of political bias.
• Increased number of comments/dialogue with programs.
• Still high levels of appreciation with NPR's web site.
• Ombudsman's online columns are now weekly instead of bi-monthly.
