National Public Radio announced this week that it will cut roughly 10% of its workforce as the station struggles to cope with falling revenues.
CEO John Lansing announced the cuts in a memo that The Hill obtained, indicating that the firm is in dire financial straits.
"We had created a plan to address a $20M sponsorship revenue falloff for FY23 but we are now projecting at least a $30M shortfall. The cuts we have already made to our budget will not be enough," he said.
"Unlike the financial challenges we faced during the worst of the pandemic, we project increasing costs and no sign of a quick revenue rebound," he continued. "We must make adjustments to what we control, and that is our spending. We have reached a point where we can no longer protect all jobs."
The outlet intends to eliminate vacant positions outright and to evenly apply cuts across the firm, per The Hill.
NPR joins other legacy outlets such as CNN, which announced a considerable number of layoffs late last year, and the Washington Post, which did the same.
learn to code, mofos!
Please, the last thing I want is to debug these folks’ code.
Perplexing. Like PParenthood, they get loads of dosh from the Feds. Why didn’t BeijingBiden ensure that there was a wad for them in latest budget?
Oh, have they not been kissing his butt sufficiently?
Get woke; go broke! But of course, they’ll never actually go broke as long as there’s a Federal teat to suck on.
Only 10% cuts unfortunately.
The boomers are dying and they made npr supporters
Creepy Joe’s special code for middle America: DOA.

Propaganda. Brownshirts. — ELIMINATED by the Blackshirts.
If a Republican Congress allocates one dollar to PBS and NPR then they are either complete fools or frauds.
Great news!
EVERY leftist attempt to sway the American public has failed, which is why the great influx of ANYTHING that breathes continues.
The only thing I'M aware of in MY area is the two (so far?) non English speaking students in my local nationalist school system . . . that we will never know whom they are because they're protected three ways to Sunday.
Thank you, Jesus.
NPR is like Ukraine.
Its a proxy of the DC deep-state, and there will always be money for it to wage war (on Americans)
>>If a Republican Congress allocates one dollar to PBS and NPR then they are either complete fools or frauds.
Or merely cowards. All the media would be screaming that the evil GOP hates children and wants to kill Big Bird. Just like the last time the GOP tried to reduce the increase in funding to PBS.
NPR is like Ukraine. Congress will always fund them.
Where’s the world’s tiniest violin when you need it?
“That’s a shame.”
-—legacy outlets-—
Hmmm...... legacy. Ben searched for a descriptive and failed.
NPR is a propaganda outlet who’s sole market is state run public radio stations
