NPR said it will suspend activity on Twitter in reaction to the social media platform’s decision to label it “government funded media.'
. NPR, which receives some taxpayer funds but is independently controlled, lambasted those disclaimers in a statement Wednesday.
The organization plans to no longer tweet from its flagship @NPR account, which has 8.8 million followers, or from related institutional accounts, such as @NPRMusic, which has nearly 745,000 followers.NPR effectively stopped tweeting news updates last week, after the “state-affiliated” label was added to its account. Its apparent final tweets — all posted Wednesday morning — directed readers to its newsletters and accounts on other social media platforms such as Facebook and TikTok.
Fox News suspended its Twitter activity for 18 months in 2018 after protesters tweeted host Tucker Carlson’s home address, but it resumed in 2020.and began undoing years worth of security and anti-hate policies.
Twitter responded to an email seeking comment on Wednesday with a poop emoji, its response to all press inquiries lately.

NPR said its organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is undermining its credibility by falsely implying that it is not editorially independent. Last week, Twitter labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media” on the social media site, a label also used for state-controlled media outlets in authoritarian regimes. Twitter later changed the label to “Government-funded media” and gave it to some other public news organizations, such as the BBC.
