NPR CEO warns funding cuts could close rural stations, impact news coverage across America.
NPR CEO Katherine Maher warns that the White House's plan to rescind $1.1 billion in federal funding for public media, accusing NPR and PBS of spreading "radical, woke propaganda," could lead to the closure of rural stations and a decline in coverage.
While NPR receives only 1% of its budget from federal funds, the majority coming from membership fees and donations, Maher notes the importance of public media in covering news deserts and reaching 99.7% of Americans.
The memo, to be sent to Congress, opens a 45-day window for lawmakers to approve or reject the funding cuts.
