NPR's chief news executive Edith Chapin announced her departure, citing personal reasons, shortly after Congress voted to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting, a move that could have long-term impacts on NPR and its member stations. She plans to stay until fall and emphasized her decision was personal, not influenced by the funding cut, which NPR aims to offset by reducing its budget.
NPR has appointed Edith Chapin as its senior vice president for news and editor in chief, solidifying its leadership during a time of significant transition. Chapin, who has been serving in the position on an acting basis since fall 2022, brings extensive experience in journalism, having previously worked at CNN for a quarter century. NPR's newsroom has faced financial troubles and leadership departures, but Chapin's appointment is seen as a positive step in ensuring the network's stability and continuing to deliver excellent journalism.
