Vivian Schiller @vivianschiller.bsky.social · 19/07/2025I talked about the publc radio cuts on MSNBC this morning. Now that the deed is done, it's time to turn the page and reimagine a governance system without federal funding and the bureaucractic Corporation for Public Braodcasting. We can come out of this stronger, and we will. 262
Vivian Schiller @vivianschiller.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Indeed! A Joan or two would be a lifeline to NPR/public radio and allow the system to develop a new, more resilience govenrance system - without a Corporaton for Public Broadcasting in the way. Always listen to Bill. 1143
Reposted by Vivian Schiller Jay Rosen @jayrosen.bsky.social · 18/07/2025So much going on in this text, which was written — we could also say "lived" — by NPR's media reporter. The most important in my view are these words from a former CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller. "Any evidence-based news organization that reports critically is going to be accused of left-wing bias." 24734283
Vivian Schiller @vivianschiller.bsky.social · 17/07/2025NPR is one of the world’s great news organizations. Accusations of bias are unwarranted and the cuts will harm smaller stations in red and blue states alike. THAT SAID I've long believed journalism + gov't funding is a toxic brew. Let's build a new and healthy model for public radio. 030
