PUBLIC MEDIA WAR
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private, nonprofit corporation authorized by Congress in 1967, has lost its funding. NPR challenges CPB’s authority to redirect millions it holds.
The public radio network asked a federal judge to block the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from transferring $57.9 million to a new nonprofit.CP is the steward of the federal government’s investment in public broadcasting. It helps support the operations of more than 1,500 locally managed and operated public television and radio stations across the nation. CPB is also the largest single source of funding for research, technology, and program development for public radio, television, and related online services. https://cpb.org/
