holy crap, I had no idea. They're not worth 1/2 that. And Inskeep should pay his listeners, actually.; 1/24/07, 4:55 PM

In 2000, these employees were: Bob Edwards, senior host, $242,411 in salary and benefits; John Gilmore, Director Corporate Marketing, $240,801; Kent Martin, National Representative Corporate Marketing, $232,734; Blake Truitt, Manager Corporate Marketing, $205,238 and Connie Mongroo, Co-Director Corporate Marketing, $191,299 (does Mongroo make less than employees with seemingly lower titles because she's a woman?). Kevin Klose, NPR's President and CEO, was paid a measly $228,322 in salary and benefits, but then again, he also received an additional $76,665 for his "expense account and other allowances."

this is by a post by Mark Crispin Miller on his blog, here:
