"NPR Editor Resigns Amid Controversy Over Bias and Diversity"
An NPR editor, Uri Berliner, who accused the organization of liberal bias and a lack of viewpoint diversity has resigned after being suspended without pay. In his resignation letter, Berliner cited his inability to work in a newsroom where he felt disparaged by the new CEO and where he believed there was a lack of open-mindedness. His accusations stemmed from an essay he wrote for Free Press, in which he criticized NPR for embracing a narrow worldview and losing touch with a diverse audience. NPR's chief content officer disagreed with Berliner's views, emphasizing the importance of inclusion in their coverage. Berliner's suspension was also attributed to not receiving approval for outside work, as required for NPR journalists.
