Code Switch is NPR's race and culture outlet, as well as a podcast from the same team, launched in June 2016.[1]

Code Switch was launched in 2013 with a $1.5 million grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Harvard's Neiman Lab describes the project as a "forward-thinking effort given the rapidly changing demographics in the U.S.[;] Code Switch has grown into a place where reporters tries to consider issues around race with nuance, whether that’s the myth of the colorblind millennial, or going deep on the hit Broadway musical Hamilton."[2]

Team members now include Gene Demby, who is lead blogger and co-host of the podcast[3] and Tasneem Raja, senior digital editor.[4]
