What is the difference b/t commentators and correspondents? Does it mean anything? Are they given such titles at the end of their pieces? +sj + 07:42, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not positive, but I think correspondents are full-time employees of NPR, while commentators are employed full-time elsewhere and contribute to NPR on a contractual basis. older≠wiser 13:04, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

- Correspondents are like reporters, commentators are like opinion and feature columnists, to use a newspaper analogy. Correspondents cover many types of stories, while comnmentators tend to specialize, ex. Daniel Schorr on political issues, Frank DeFord on sports history, etc. But it's also true that correspondents are employees of NPR and commentators tend to be "elder statesmen" or celebrities known for their work elsewhere.--69.138.67.141 12:09, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I found that the "More about Edwards' forced departure" external link at the end of the article is broken. It links to the Washington Post, but I was unable to find the referred article. Does anyone know if this is available elsewhere? Dgstangel 05:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
