"Slate is teaming with NPR to produce the show, a collaboration that the network says is its first with a commercial media outlet in its 33-year history. Slate commentators have appeared on NPR since the Internet magazine debuted seven years ago, and the magazine has long been interested in branching out to radio, publisher Cyrus Krohn said. 'We're just trying to have fun and take risks, smart risks, and be a little edgier in the way we present ourselves,' he said."
"A New 'Day' Has Risen With NPR-Slate Pairing" (Chicago Tribune, May 28, 2003)
"When National Public Radio decided to create its first new news magazine program in almost 20 years, it turned to Slate, the Microsoft-owned online journal. Not only is it an unusual media partnership, the NPR/Slate production, a one-hour weekday program called 'Day to Day,' is the first programming collaboration NPR has had with a commercial outlet in its 33-year history. ... The new program could represent a win-win situation for NPR, one of the most respected broadcast media institutions, and Slate, the Web-based magazine that covers news, culture, politics and technology. The partnership could help bring in the younger listeners NPR needs for its core audience as well as give the 7-year-old Slate a boost in visibility and traffic to its site."
