Kavahn Mansouri joins St. Louis Public Radio from the NPR Midwest Newsroom, where he served as an investigative reporter covering Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska for three and a half years.

St. Louis Public Radio and The Marshall Project will host Remember Me, a community-centered art installation and reporting project that honors the lives of homicide victims in St. Louis. The ambitious collaboration spans public art, original reporting, resources for community members, and a series of public conversations and events.

St. Louis Public Radio will air four new programs as part of a programming refresh starting Monday, Aug 11. The new lineup will include NPR’s Tiny Desk Radio, the New York Times’ weekday news show The Daily, weekend news-quiz show Go Fact Yourself, and the BBC’s Not by the Playbook, a weekly sports show featuring inspiring athletes from around the world.

In an extraordinary showing of community support, St. Louis Public Radio concluded its urgent one-week fundraising campaign this past weekend with over $800,000 contributed by more than 2,450 donors in the St. Louis region. The money raised will replace $575,000 in annual federal funding that was eliminated by Congress on July 18.

Congress eliminated $1.1 billion in already-approved funding, jeopardizing access to trusted voices, emergency alerts, and community programming.

The hire marks a restructuring of STLPR's newsroom leadership for stronger public service in a changing media landscape. Interim News Director Brian Heffernan will co-lead in a new managing editor role.

St. Louis Public Radio received six journalism awards from the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA). The 2025 awards recognize the best work in public media from across the country for the 2024 news year.

St. Louis Public Radio received 9 Awards from the 2025 Missouri Broadcasters Association.

STLPR assumes that efforts to claw back federal funding will be ongoing. Here's what we're doing to protect our local newsroom, and here's how you can continue to help.

St. Louis Public Radio has won a First Place National Headliner Award for Best Radio Series for “Unsolved,” its months-long investigative series in collaboration with APM Reports and the Marshall Project that explored how police in St. Louis have struggled to solve killings, leaving thousands of family members without answers. This is the third national award for the Unsolved series.
