An NPR veteran has written an essay calling for thought diversity at the network.
“Even within our diminished audience, there’s evidence of trouble at the most basic level: trust,” 25-year NPR veteran Uri Berliner wrote.
“We could face up to where we’ve gone wrong. News organizations don’t go in for that kind of reckoning. But there’s a good reason for NPR to be the first: we’re the ones with the word ‘public’ in our name.”But it never came. For example, in 2021, he looked up the party registration of staffers and found that 87 were Democrats and zero were Republicans. “It was met with profound indifference,” he said.
“These initiatives, bolstered by a $1 million grant from the NPR Foundation, came from management, from the top down. Crucially, they were in sync culturally with what was happening at the grassroots — among producers, reporters, and other staffers. Most visible was a burgeoning number of employee resource groups based on identity,” he wrote.
