NPR Transcript

Yesterday I wrote about the Bird Flu news story on NPR. I checked LexisNexis before 9AM. The transcript for Morning Edition hadn't been posted yet. I checked Lexis Nexis today and yesterdays Morning Edition transcript was posted! It had been posted by 10AM yesterday.

It's interesting to read the transcript- listening provides one set of facts, reading confirms or corrects what was "heard".
