NPR Woos New Anchor; Welcomes Her With Web Video

MSNBC's effervescent Alison Stewart has joined National Public Radio as co-host (along with Luke Burbank) of the network's forthcoming morning show aimed at a younger, hipper demographic. Stewart has been anchor of MSNBC's "The Most," a daily show that reports on the most popular news on the Internet and in pop culture (a favorite in our newsroom).

NPR's new drive-time show, geared toward adults 25-44, will premiere in September, according to a press release. It will be available through terrestrial, digital and satellite radio; free streaming online audio at station Web sites; as a podcast and via mobile devices on-demand. You can read more about the show, code-named The Bryant Park project here.

To welcome Stewart to the NPR family, the staff put together this witty little video and shared it with the world via Jumpcut, an online video editing and sharing site. The background music for their photo montage is Elvis Costello's "Alison."
