NPR stands for freedom of speech & holding the powerful accountable. A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.
My full statement on the recent inaccurate Twitter label below:
John Lansing retweeted
Journalism is not a crime. We stand with WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested last week on bogus espionage charges in Russia. Evan worked for three years as a reporter at The Moscow Times – we know he’s a professional journalist. He should be released immediately. 🧵👇
#NationalRadioDay is a good day to remember the vital role public radio plays in providing information we all need to fully exercise our rights in our democracy… Public radio is the most easily accessed daily news source for audiences across the country npr.org/sections/npr-extra/2…
On #WorldPressFreedomDay we honor all journalists working tirelessly and risking their lives to bring us the information we need. The vital journalism public radio station newsrooms around the country do every day would be impossible without #PressFreedom

NPR is heartbroken to report that our own books editor, Petra Mayer, died on Saturday. If you've read or listened to anything about books on NPR, you've likely encountered her work. n.pr/3wLLcdb
