NPR defends its journalism after senior editor says it has lost the public's trust
==========
NPR is defending its journalism and integrity after a senior editor wrote an essay accusing it of losing the public's trust. The editor, Uri Berliner, criticized NPR's push for diversity and inclusion, claiming it has led to a lack of viewpoint diversity. NPR's chief news executive, Edith Chapin, rejected Berliner's assessment and emphasized the importance of inclusion in their coverage. Berliner's essay has sparked internal arguments within NPR, with some colleagues questioning his trustworthiness and others defending the network's efforts to diversify its workforce and sources. Former NPR CEO John Lansing supported NPR's diversity mission and welcomed the argument against Berliner's critique. The new NPR CEO, Katherine Maher, also supports Chapin's response to Berliner's critique.
