Katherine Maher, the Chief Executive Officer of NPR, has expressed ‘deep frustration’ over the recent cuts to her organization’s federal funding, which were part of the Trump administration’s rescission package. The cuts, which amount to over $1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting, have sparked a significant debate about the political motivations behind the decision. Maher has vowed that NPR will continue to operate, despite the financial impact, acknowledging that the funding cuts are a ‘big hit’ for her organization.
