Still, it's at least not a news source purpose built to drive ad revenue. The culture and mission is different, and it shows in the interface design. If you're in a position to suggest, let people donate to NPR to get a version of the app that never shows ads as their reward. I noticed mine recently started very occasionally showing ads down on the bottom, but surely the ad revenue from delivering them to a single person is smaller than the amount a typical NPR listener will donate (if they donate at all).
