What's npr reputation like? I'm not from the states
NPR is considered to be left-leaning media or the so called liberal bias media. Its influence and reputation has diminished over the years. Its primary audience is from radio stations. I would say NPR focuses more on domestic and local contentious issues but also tries to steer away from controversy. Obviously, conservatives are very critical of NPR. That gives the rise of conservative talk radio. If you know anything about the US politics, then you should know that the conservative radio commentators made the modern Republican Party.
Going back to NPR, it is less bias than most radio stations I tune into. Or you could say other radio stations have become more bias over the years. Even for Bloomberg radio station that should be focused upon business news, it can't stop criticize and attack China for every opportunity they get.

NPR is definitely left-leaning, but I wouldn't say its influence has diminished. Most people I know, including myself, still listen to NPR in the morning on my way to work. Also their classic music program in the afternoon and night...
I used to listen to NPR, and This American Life as well as On Point.
This American Life has gone off the rails from its heyday when it did shows on racial identity (Family Physics), Iraqi war civilian casualty study and calamari replacements, the topic are just not as funny or intriguing. I listened to their show on HK last year, but it was so one sided on the protesters.
On Point came off my list when then invited Gordon Chang.
NPR as a whole has also become more and more biased, particularly on its China reporting, with the exception of its one interview with NYT on what China did right during the Pandemic.
Perhaps its not NPR, but me. The more I'm more informed, the more I feel the entire English media are incapable of critical analysis.
The scary part is that I feel like they are just waiting for any bad news from China just so they can throw shade on that and capitalise on it for maximum effect to help there own nations to ignore there own crisis’s. Only problem with logic is that it does nothing but make things worse and ultimately there lack of truth I feel is turning more and more people against the governments since the media is all for lockdowns while providing little help to the every day person. It just goes to show that by downplaying the situation like this is becoming the undoing of these people give or take a few months since the media seem to be pushing the vaccine narrative like crazy while the vaccines in question have been developed so fast and with important steps skipped along with a new procedure (mRNA) that has never really been put into circulation before, that any adverse problems associated with it will cause people to turn away and should the government mandate the vaccines by force, the consequences will be dire.

Two in U.K. Suffer Allergic Reaction to Pfizer’s Covid-19 Vaccine
Is it just me or did they seriously rush this vaccine without testing on those with allergies?

European Leaders Isolating After Macron Tests Positive for Covid
Leaders from across Europe announced they’re isolating after coming into contact with French President Emmanuel Macron who tested positive for Covid-19. Macron had shown symptoms of the disease and will isolate for seven days as he continues to work, his office said in a statement on Thursday. An official at the Elysee Palace said the symptoms were mild, but declined to provide details on the circumstances of the infection or where the president will be isolating. Macron’s diagnosis, days before his 43rd birthday, comes at a particularly sensitive time. France is struggling to tame a resurgence of the virus, with the president fielding criticism of his handling of the crisis and the economic fallout. He’s also trying to push through controversial plans to bolster the powers of the police while dealing with the closing stages of Brexit.
