The <a href="http://www.kuow.org/" target="_blank">NPR Seattle affiliate</a> is highly regarded for its radio  programming, but its website is mostly a guide to that programming. The  station says it employs 63 full–time employees; plus freelance  reporters, part–time staff, interns and work–study students. It also  says it produces 20 hours of news and information a week. It has started  a “Public Insight Network,” which is still in relative infancy.

KUOW has done some powerful investigative work recently, including <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2014209155_weightofwar06.html" target="_blank">a  project with the Seattle Times</a> about injuries to combat soldiers from  carrying gear that is too heavy and a <a href="http://www.kuow.org/program.php?id=22556" target="_blank">report on hospital executive pay</a>.
