Quoting, Summarizing, and Paraphrasing Sources
Summarize:
NPR brings in revenue from its member station dues along with corporate sponsorships, contributions from universities, every level of government, and its listeners. The dues, along with licensing and merchandising fees stations pay to NPR are used to fund top rated news programs, provide stations representation in regards to regulation and Congressional matters, and allowing access to other media services. Corporate sponsorship functions as a commercial. Stations air acknowledgments which help raise the name of a business and attract other potential sponsors. Endowments, contributions, and grants provide cultural and educational development. NPR expenses primarily involve technical support, production, distribution, mobile and web media, and maintaining the public radio satellites. The rest funds legal matters, facility maintenance, and communications management.

Paraphrase:
Overwhelming support in the 2010 Congressional elections and a $14 trillion national debt may give Republicans the leverage needed to eliminate $445 million in taxpayer money from the upcoming budget. Democrats have quite an obstacle to climb if they wish to justify supporting roughly 1,100 television and radio stations. These outlets, along with PBS and NPR, would otherwise have to rely exclusively on donations from struggling citizens, embrace commercialism, or cease operations. However, Republicans cite the success of Sesame Street, which garnered $211
