NPR cut 10% of its staff this week and will stop the production of four podcasts: 'Invisibilia', 'Louder Than a Riot', 'Rough Translation' and 'Everyone & Their Mom'.
Lansing said no member stations would have to shuffle their program schedules, as NPR had not canceled any of its radio shows. He noted that the network has kept those podcasts that have evolved into radio programs.
"That includes our ability to be meaningful to audiences on digital and visual platforms, our radio audiences, our podcast audiences - our narrative journalism," Grundmann said."I think we lose some excellent projects that have made NPR stand out.... And we're losing some great people, who are incredibly talented and who have contributed so much to NPR and to public service.
"It's been emotional, I have to tell you that," said Pat O'Donnell, executive director of SAG-Aftra's Mid-Atlantic division. The union represents 570 people at NPR, primarily in news and programming."The financial paperwork and the meetings with SAG-Aftra proved they needed to do something. They had to do something. It's real."
