NPR says grants from federal agencies and departments account for less than 1% of its annual operating budget.
The headquarters for National Public Radio stands on North Capitol Street on April 15, 2013, in Washington. Twitter labeled National Public Radio as “state-affiliated media” on the social media site Wednesday, April 5, 2023.
Twitter labeled NPR’s main account last week as “state-affiliated media,” a label also used to identify media outlets that are controlled or heavily influenced by authoritarian governments, such as Russia and China. Twitter later changed the label to “government-funded media” and gave it to a few other organizations, such as the Public Broadcasting Service in the U.S. and the British Broadcasting Corporation in the U.K.
PBS said Wednesday it has also stopped tweeting from its main account because of its new label and has no plans to resume. The company’s spokesperson, Isabel Lara, said NPR journalists, employees and member stations can decide on their own if they want to keep using the platform. NPR journalists have not been given the “government-funded” label, at least not yet.
