NPR's new chief content officer: 'I've been training for this job my whole life'

Contrary to popular belief, Ive always felt that content creation is more of a craft than a career. It requires passion, not training.

Im skeptical. Zylstras past roles in consumer-facing platforms might not translate to the mission-critical nature of NPRs public service. Training for this job her whole life? More likely, shes leveraging her extensive industry experience to navigate the challenges ahead. Whats the plan for balancing diverse content with mission-driven programming in the digital age?
