As you may have seen, NPR's organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter. The platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent. After great consideration, we will not put our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of editorial independence. Millions of Americans depend on NPR and local NPR Member stations for the factual, independent journalism they need to stay informed. I want to reassure you that while we are turning away from Twitter, we will never turn away from you. A vital part of what makes it possible for us to uphold the non-negotiable values of independent journalism are donations from people like you. If you'd like to show your support, please donate. |
