This looks like it's just scraping copyrighted material off NPR's web site without their permission, and reformatting it.

See NPR's terms of use, which explicitly states that their material is copyrighted:

https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179876898/terms-of-use

"You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, upload, transmit, display, prepare derivative works of, publicly perform, sell, transfer, assign, license or use for commercial purposes any copyrighted material on the NPR Services without the prior written consent of NPR..."

If NPR finds out about this, you'll be hearing from their lawyers.

Before you mentioned this, I thought this "NPR Lite" site was NPR's text-only version, but I realized that's actually located at text.npr.org

You can see the differences: text.npr.org, in addition to being on NPR's domain, has an NPR copyright notice, the NPR logo in the favicon and links back to the main NPR site. nprlite.org has no indication that it's affiliated with NPR.
