What are Noa's editorial principles?
1. Multiple Perspectives: Offer multiple perspectives from trusted sources and empower listeners to make up their own minds on where they stand on a topic.
2. Thought-provoking: Present audio articles that inform, inspire, and offer fresh insights, through both a global and a national lens. Focus on opinion, feature, and analysis articles.
3. Storytellers: Be storytellers and educators. Help our listeners understand global topics, and perspectives, while also telling the stories of the people behind the headlines.
4. Global Impact: Ensure coverage and raise awareness of important topics, regardless of a topics popularity or ability to drive “clicks”.
5. Fourth Estate: Uphold journalism’s values as a democratic check on power. And always celebrate great journalism.
6. Embrace Complexity: Encourage thought and avoid black and white explanations that aren't followed with depth. The world is complicated and can seldom be explained in minutes. Our goal is to help listeners navigate it.

I enjoy listening to audio books. I have been listening for decades, which has made me a very demanding listener. So I was absolutely thrilled when I subscribed to NOA. Their narration quality is outstanding. The audio quality is flawless. Since I am an HBR subscriber, I could listen to the articles directly from the digital magazine. The NOA app, however, is much more convenient since it doesn't require interruptions to change from one article to another as when reading the digital magazine. I'm eager to explore all other newspapers and magazines in the app. I recommend you subscribe. It's a great experience.
