Faced with a sharp decline in revenue, National Public Radio said Wednesday it will pare back its programming and institute its first organization-wide layoffs in 25 years.
Washington-based NPR said it would lay off about 7 percent of its workforce and eliminate two daily programs produced out of its facilities in Culver City, Calif. The shows are “Day to Day,” which was aimed at younger listeners, and the newsmaker-interview program “News & Notes,” which NPR hoped would attract African Americans.
I expect that they will receive a bail out eventually.
