Since the NPR is a 3 minute listen without a transcript, here's the ACLU's text/image article: https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/wrongfully-arre...

And here's a 1st-person account from the arrested man: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/24/i-was-wro...

As soon as I saw it was audio only, i left the site. Why do sites do this? How many people actually stick to the page and listen to that?

NPR does transcribe (many, most?) its audio stories, but usually there's a delay of a day or so – the published timestamp for this story is 5:06AM (ET) today.

edit: looks like there's a text version of the article. I'm assuming this is a CMS issue: there's an audio story and a "print story", but the former hadn't been linked to the latter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23628790

They transcribe all their stories. Back before the web was widespread, you could call or write NPR and have them mail a transcript to you.
