NPR news chief says she’s leaving, days after federal funding cuts
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Edith Chapin is stepping down later this year after over $1 billion in federal funding cuts to NPR and PBS by a Republican-led Congress, despite her decision being independent of the cuts.
- Edith Chapin, NPR's editor-in-chief and acting chief content officer, announced she will resign later this year, planning to stay until September or October.
- Her resignation follows Congress’s July 18 decision to reduce funding by $1.1 billion over two years for the public media organization that supports NPR and PBS.
- Edith Chapin became part of NPR's team in 2012 following a lengthy career of over two decades at CNN, and during her tenure, she oversaw the expansion of NPR's investigative journalism and its coverage of significant events such as international conflicts and U.S. elections.
- Chapin said, "It's not a good time to do it, but it's never a good time," adding she has had two big executive roles for two years and wants to take a break.
- NPR is initiating a countrywide effort to find new leadership for its editorial team as funding reductions raise concerns about possible layoffs at local stations.
