Comments Off on Presentation : NPR’s Digital Distribution Strategy: OSCON2010

This presentation was given at OSCON in July of 2010.

When launching the API at OSCON in 2008, NPR targeted four audiences: the open source community; NPR member stations; NPR partners and vendors; and finally our internal developers and product managers. In its short two-year life, the NPR API has grown tremendously, from only a few hundred thousand requests per month to more than 60M. The API, furthermore, has enabled tremendous growth for NPR in the mobile space while facilitating more than 100% growth in total page views in the last year.

The NPR API has been the great enabler to achieve rapid development in the mobile space. That is, because we have our rich and powerful API, our mobile team is free to pursue the development of their mobile products without being encumbered by limited internal development resources. The touch-point between the mobile product and our content is fixed which means the mobile team can focus on design and usability for the specific platform.

I original published this presentation on April 7, 2010 to demonstrate some of the usage and metrics of the NPR API. In addition to the flow of an NPR story from creation to distribution, I also tried to provide a reasonable sampling of the more popular or interesting implementations.

Comments Off on Presentation : NPR Examples of COPE

By daniel_jacobson, October 5, 2009 8:03 pm

This presentation was first published to my Slideshare account on October 5, 2009 and was used in different forms to demonstrate the power of the COPE model in content management and API development. It shows the same NPR story displayed in a wide range of platforms. The content, through the principles of COPE, is pushed out to all of these destinations through the NPR API. Each destination, meanwhile, uses the appropriate content for that presentation layer.
