If any conflicts are noted, the general counsel and the chair of the audit committee consult on the proper process in accordance with new york public radio's conflict of interest policy.”

New york public radio routinely utilizes benchmark studies and independent review of market compensation data from both nonprofit and media organizations, at the time of employee hiring or when special compensation adjustments are awarded. New york public radio sets compensation within the range of this going market rate. No individual having a conflict of interest under new york public radio's conflict of interest policy, or a conflict with respect to the ceo's compensation arrangement, is permitted to participate in the compensation review or decision-making process. Contemporaneous written records are kept of the process. The last review was done in february 2024.”
