With public radio set to lose federal funding starting this fall, author and historian Steve Oney talks about NPR's tumultuous history with Republican lawmakers and the unique challenges the network faces today.

NPR newsroom chief Edith Chapin says she's leaving the network. She made the announcement just days after Congress voted to strip public broadcasting of all federal funding.

The Senate voted by a razor-thin margin late Tuesday to advance debate on a package of funding cuts requested by President Trump that would claw back $1.1 billion previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The Trump administration has asked Congress to rescind funds for NPR/PBS and foreign aid. Congress has until the end of the week to approve the cuts.

NPR's Ari Shapiro and longtime newscaster Jack Speer chat about his early years covering business for the network, his retirement, and what he'll miss about covering the daily news.

The latest batch of inductees to the Radio Hall of Fame are out, including NPR's very own Scott Simon. Before he hosted "Weekend Edition," he started with NPR in 1977 as Chicago bureau chief.

Missing voices limit the storytelling

President Trump is asking lawmakers to claw back the $1.1 billion in federal subsidies for public broadcasting that Congress approved earlier this year. His request also includes cuts to foreign aid.

While uncertainty reigns, TPR has an idea of what could come as the administration levies concerted effort to defund public media.

When NPR is in the news, our journalists aim to cover what's happening the same way they cover any other organization. To do that, the NPR newsroom follows a process aimed at ensuring only a small number of employees, none of whom are directly involved in the news event, works on the coverage.
