\nNPR leaves Twitter due to misleading \u2018government-funded media\u2019 label<\/br>
\n2023-04-12 21:57:13<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

NPR will no longer update its 52 Twitter accounts, including the primary @NPR<\/a> handle, which has nearly 9 million followers. These accounts include NPR\u2019s topic-specific feeds like NPR Politics<\/a>, as well as individual radio shows like Weekend Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, Twitter placed a \u201cstate-affiliated media<\/a>\u201d label on NPR\u2019s account, representing the American news nonprofit in the same way that it denotes RT, Russia\u2019s state-backed mouthpiece<\/a> that pushes the Kremlin\u2019s talking points to the broader world. But the U.S. government does not have any sort of editorial control over NPR, and the news organization only received about 1% of its budget<\/a> from federal funding in 2020. The label on NPR\u2019s account was amended to \u201cgovernment-funded media,\u201d yet NPR representatives have stated<\/a> that this description is still misleading.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point I have lost my faith in the decision-making at Twitter,\u201d NPR CEO John Lansing told an NPR reporter<\/a>. \u201cI would need some time to understand whether Twitter can be trusted again.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Twitter, the \u201cgovernment-funded<\/a>\u201d label applies to any news outlet receiving \u201csome or all\u201d funding from the government, which \u201cmay have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content.\u201d Twitter also assigned this label to the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twitter owner Elon Musk has targeted mainstream media outlets like The New York Times, stripping the account \u2014 followed by 55 million people<\/a> \u2014 of its verified checkmark. All verified accounts that do not subscribe to Twitter Blue are expected to lose their checkmark<\/a> by April 20 (delayed from April1<\/a>), but the social platform took extra care to remove The New York Times\u2019 badge as soon as possible. This makes it very easy for users to impersonate the major news source, and can also spark confusion around whether this account is real.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
