- One day after Twitter labeled National Public Radio (NPR) a “US state-affiliated media” outlet on the social media platform, NPR President John Lansing fired back, writing that he was disturbed by the designation.
- “We were disturbed to see last night that Twitter has labeled NPR as ‘state-affiliated media,’ a description that, per Twitter’s own guidelines, does not apply to NPR. NPR and our member stations are supported by millions of listeners who depend on us for the independent, fact-based journalism we provide.”
- Lansing also contended that NPR is a critical part of American democracy in his statement, issued just hours after Musk acknowledged NPR’s new designation on Twitter.
