Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

NPR and PBS funding has survived conservative opposition for decades, but leaders of NPR’s biggest member stations warned in a recent report that “it would be unwise to assume that events will play out as they have in the past,” given the free rein Trump is allowing Musk to rethink government functions. Conservatives say public broadcasting mocks their beliefs, while the system’s defenders say it is a crucial source for news and information, in rural communities especially. (New York Times)
