Our new PRX Pointer will help you get your pieces to show up in search results and score more hits, listens, and licenses.

Take me there!

Below is a snapshot of the PRX Pointer. Purple bubbles point to the most essential parts of the piece page. When you hover your mouse over the bubble, you’ll see a hint pop up. If you click on the hint, you’ll be directed to an in-depth explanation, and instructions on how to edit that part of the piece page.

Free PRX memberships for ex-NPR staff and others

Public radio has started to bear its share of the turbulent economic times, with recent layoffs and budget cuts at NPR and a number of stations.

Public radio never has much margin to begin with, so any cuts tend to hit hard, and talented people find themselves let loose at a tough moment.

PRX would like to offer any recently unemployed staff member from a public radio network or station a free one-year PRX producer membership with full privileges, as our small way of helping out.

With PRX 3.0, producer accounts now have unlimited audio storage and expanded professional profiles for networking and freelance opportunities.

So if you are one of the NPR, APM, or other network or station staff that was recently let go, we invite you to sign up for an individual producer account now, and then contact PRX (email membership) and we’ll upgrade it to a paid membership.
