NPR News: "Reporting from Paris..."
NPR staffers with laptop computers
David Greene and company in Paris
The ability to move fast whenever and wherever news happens is essential to a top-ranked news organization, as NPR proved this week in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Morning Edition's David Greene and All Things Considered's Robert Siegel are hosting from Paris this week in this makeshift studio. You can find reports from Eleanor Beardsley, Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, Lauren Frayer and Peter Kenyon archived in the NPR News pages of KGOU.org.

The attacks resonated here in Oklahoma as well, and KGOU News is following the local reaction. And on World Views tomorrow, Syria expert Joshua Landis discusses options for the U.S., Russia and other nations in the wake of the Paris attacks.
