NPR trims jobs in newsroom overhaul as it confronts era without public funding

NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher says the network has a gap of $8 million in its annual budget due to softening corporate sponsorship and the end of federal subsidies for public media stations.

NPR is offering buyouts to journalists as it overhauls its newsroom, with the threat of layoffs to follow. Two recent gifts totaling $113 million are primarily dedicated to NPR's tech infrastructure.
