"NPR's Viewpoint Diversity and Trust in Journalism Under Scrutiny"

A senior NPR editor, Uri Berliner, criticized the public broadcaster for lacking viewpoint diversity and embracing progressive ideologies, leading to a decline in audience trust and a loss of ideological neutrality. NPR's editor-in-chief, Edith Chapin, defended the outlet's work and emphasized the importance of inclusion in coverage. Berliner's critique has sparked a backlash from NPR editorial staff, highlighting internal tensions over the station's approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
