What's the best thing about waking up for more than 13 million people worldwide? Coffee, juice, and a staple to satisfy the curious with NPR's Morning Edition. Hours before alarms buzz and coffeemakers drip, an international team of award-winning journalists, commentators, producers, and analysts prepare the most popular news program on public radio, offering a welcome alternative to the talking heads, sound-bite journalism, and confrontational conversation found elsewhere.

As a source of news and information, Morning Edition goes deeper. NPR reporters and contributors present multi-faceted stories and commentary meant to inform, challenge, and occasionally even amuse. Listeners get a play-by-play on national politics from Cokie Roberts, wonder at the wisdom of animals with cowboy-poet Baxter Black, ponder the philosophy of sports with Frank Deford and meet fascinating people with Susan Stamberg.

Morning Edition is more than a morning news program. It is essential radio that frames the day for devoted listeners around the world.
