Dave Mattingly closes out the morning bulletin with a market check: Dow futures are up nearly 500 points and NASDAQ futures are up more than 400, pointing to a strong open for US equities on Monday morning. The newscast then transitions to an NPR fundraising message, which carries its own news value — the announcement that Congress eliminated more than $1 billion in public media funding just over a year ago. The appeal urges listeners to donate to the independent nonprofits that make up the NPR network before the month ends, directing them to plus.npr.org.
