Newsrooms continue to be split by ideological differences among staffers. On Wednesday (April 17), NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner resigned from the organization following a critical essay he wrote in The Free Press earlier this month, claiming the publisher was too left-leaning and had lost its “viewpoint diversity.” Berliner made his resignation to NPR CEO Katherine Maher public by posting a screenshot of it on X.
“I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism,” Berliner wrote. “But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.”
