NPR Pursued Diversity, It Lost $30M and is Cutting 10% of Jobs

 

  • Everyone who occasionally flips around the radio dial knows that NPR is every bit as diverse as the vegan cafes whose clientele make up a sizable portion of its listening base.

  • They drive an electric car and still believe that Trump will be indicted.

  • Their coffee tables groan with coffee table books they never read.

  • When asked about his priorities, Lansing invoked what he has called the network’s “North Star” since his arrival in the fall of 2019: a push to ensure the network has a bigger and broader audience base, rooted in younger and more diverse listeners, readers and consumers.

  • And its current North Star is going nova.

  • Why do I strongly suspect that Lansing is going to purge some of NPRT’s older white workforce rather than the new wokes who have come in keeping with DEI?
