'NPR Topics' at NPR.org Links to AfriClassical Posts


[William Grant Still; Denver Oldham, piano; Koch 3 7084 2H1 (1991)]
On Saturday evening AfriClassical posted: “Pasadena Summer Youth Chamber Orchestra Performs 'Serenade' of William Grant Still July 27.” Minutes later, a link to the post appeared at National Public Radio's NPR Topics. Dozens of AfriClassical stories have appeared in the past two months, in keeping with a new NPR policy:

The NPR audience has a thirst for news. To provide a greater depth of coverage for each day's top stories, NPR.org now features links to stories on other news sites.

Automated Display of News Stories
NPR has partnered with technology company Daylife to bring you news stories from around the web. Daylife uses automated technology to gather news from thousands of websites and then display a sampling of relevant stories on NPR.org. Google News uses similar automated technology.”

Daylife also distributes content from AfriClassical to the website of Madison Square Garden and to Tennessean.com [William Grant Still (1895-1978) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a complete Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory.]
