Twitter’s decision to label NPR as “government-funded,” and previously as “state-affiliated,” is both misleading and threatens to reduce trust in all publicly supported news organizations in the U.S. Full statement from @rcfp:
White background image with black text containing a statement from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press: "NPR is an independent non-profit with checks in place to prevent government interference in its programming. It is misleading to label NPR on Twitter as 'government-funded,' as it was to label it 'state-affiliated' last week, when nearly all of its support comes from members and underwriting. This characterization threatens to reduce trust in all publicly supported news organizations in the United States, which are valuable sources of information for millions of Americans.”

April 28 I’ll be presenting at the Library Of Congress’ “A Century Of Broadcasting” Radio Preservation conference. I’ve been working on a new project that features archival radio from across Latin America, including (seen here) Radio Novelas. It’s free and open to the public!

The New Zealand band writes sparkling indie pop underpinned by empathy. At the Tiny Desk, you can hear that support and camaraderie in the band's stripped-down arrangements and dry banter. n.pr/3GmSJpa

I’ve been working with and listening to @TBowmanNPR and @GPublic cover wars and other news for more years than I’d care to say. This podcast on a friendly fire incident in Iraq—and the cover-up—is just plain one of the best things they’ve ever done. @NPR npr.org/podcasts/510368/taki…

Taking Cover

It was the worst Marine-on-Marine friendly fire incident in modern history. But it's not in the history books. An explosion in Fallujah, Iraq left three dead, a dozen wounded, and – for high-ranking...

The #FirstAmendment protects an independent news media — like @NPR — using its watchdog role to investigate and report on government and hold those in power accountable. n.pr/43cFXDd

Twitter labels NPR's account as 'state-affiliated media,' which is untrue

NPR operates independently of the U.S. government. NPR has asked Twitter to remove the label, calling it "unacceptable." But Twitter CEO Elon Musk says it "seems accurate."

To Twitter, regarding this new label for @NPR - This inaccurate label is a disservice to our democracy. The U.S. government has no editorial control over NPR or any of the public media outlets across the country. npr.org/2023/04/05/116815854…
