Reporting

Talk story about National Public Radio's "Morning Edition," a weekday two-hour news show anchored by Bob Edwards, 37, and produced by Jay Kernis, who also tapes cultural interviews for the show. The program is co-produced locally and nationally. NPR gives their 265 public radio stations a basic two-hour feedN6-8 A.M., 8-10 A.M., and 10 A.M.-12 noonNand they can do anything they want with it. Mr. Edwards is on the air live for the first two hours, and then he only goes back into the studio to update the news. His live portion sometimes includes interviews hooking up two prominent people. The money for the show comes from Congress through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
