“The big challenge is going to be thinking about where Morning Edition goes as a show, in five years and 10 years.”
Martínez replaces David Greene, who left the show in 2020.
Poetry can be a way to deal with “heavy, emotionally weighted things,” says Kwame Alexander, who co-hosts the show’s poetry segments.
The hosts had been splitting their time between the news shows and NPR’s “Planet Money.”
The recast theme blends a faithfulness to the original melody with new instrumentation and electronic beats.
The clock includes a spot for inserting local news that station leaders had requested.
NPR has said that stations may instead have to air a full three-minute national newscast during that time.
A proposed update would lengthen segments and return the show to a format of two newscasts per hour instead of three.
“Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” will each feature four hosts.
