NPR Losing Diverse Listeners

NPR, once known for its fair and open-minded reporting, has experienced a shift leading to the alienation and loss of listeners across the political spectrum. Longtime editor Uri Berliner highlights the significant decline in trust from centrist, conservative, and even moderate liberal audiences due to what appears to be a lack of ideological diversity in NPR's content. This trend intensified following events like the election of Donald Trump and George Floyd's murder, pushing NPR towards an overemphasis on race and identity, impacting the quality and trustworthiness of its journalism.
