Twitter, NPR, and Elon Musk: A Chaotic Media Landscape

Twitter CEO Elon Musk placed a "state-affiliated media" label on NPR's Twitter account, leading to widespread criticism. Musk said the platform's recent labeling of NPR might not have been accurate during a series of email exchanges. Regardless, as of late Thursday, the designation remained. Press freedom advocates and the network itself were taken aback to see that Twitter had placed NPR in the same category as government-aligned propaganda outlets in China and Russia.
