National Public Radio was the latest media organization to implement mass layoffs, leading to the cancelation of multiple programs.
NPR itself confirmed Thursday that it had cut 10% of its workforce on Thursday, impacting roughly 100 employees, adding that it tends to roll back the workforce from 1,200 to an estimated 1,050 employees, the "largest reduction in staff since the 2008 recession."
"We literally are fighting to secure the future of NPR at this very moment by restructuring our cost structure. It's that important. It's existential," NPR chief executive John Lansing told NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik.

Massive? Not exactly, but it’s a start.
Cancel NPR in it’s entirety.
Now stop funding npr with my tax dollars.
When they don’t acquire a faux British accent.
WTH!? Can’t the federal gubmint borrow any more money? Previously, NPR would just shake the federal money tree to finance their anti America propaganda.
Excellent!
Chris Plante likes to point out that what he and 1 or 2 others do takes a staff of 20 plus catering at NPR.
Nope, not moving the needle on my Give a $hit meter.
Rush Limbaugh coined “All Left-Wing Things Considered”
too big to fail? /s
They’ve been around near 50 years?
Served its purpose.
Now we have the blackshirts ensconced in the Deep State.
The kids have been brainwashed, dumbed down and neutered.
And a bit more about women in general that would get me banned. I won’t say.
“Drop dead, mf’ers” is the kindest way to address NPR.
Hip-hop emerged from the voices of the unheard. But freedom doesn't ring the same for everyone. Inside all corners of the culture, Black women and queer folk have dealt with the same oppression the music was built to escape. Season 2 of Louder Than A Riot examines who hip-hop marginalizes, and how misogynoir — the specific racist misogyny against Black women — is embedded into the fabric of the culture that we love.
Where else will we learn about, ah, "misogynoir"?
"Rough Translation" deals with how the world views certain - you can guess which ones - issues currently faced in America. "Invisibilia" deals with mysterious cultural forces that affect our lives - one recent episode was "White vs White", whose conclusion was uncomfortably if you looks white, you is.
No loss.
Going broke because they went woke?
Haven’t listened to NPR in a decade. Fresh Air with Terri Gross should have been called “Stale Air.”
They really don’t need NPR when they own the MSM
I do like ‘Science Friday’ and my local, Wisconsin Gardening Show is really good. ‘Chapter a Day’ is good, too.
However, if any of these programs were actually NEEDED or WANTED by the General Public, commercial AM radio would’ve provided it, already. *SHRUG*
Taxation is THEFT! Inflation is THEFT!
A good first step, like the old story about a ship full of lawyers going down in a storm. Wake me when PBS stops showing programming with rampant queer stories and short videos from the likes of “Story Board” about various non-conforming people.
LOL!
In the private sector that's called "running your business."
Lean to code ya woke npr biotces
“Went woke”? FRiend, they’ve BEEN woke, pretty.much since the beginning! They were woke before ‘woke’ was a thing.
The only thing I ever listened to on NPR was ‘A Prairie Home Companion’. It was before I knew Garrison Keillor was an uber-lefty who was masquerading as a downhome kind of guy. I even attended a live show back when they came to Spokane in 1999.
I stopped listening after reading an article when he said Republicans, if they ever get sick, should just “take an aspirin then go home and die”. This was when the Democrats were screaming about universal.healthcare in the early 2000’s when W was president. I never listened again after that.
