NPR is suspending its use of Twitter after clashing with the social media company over a controversial new “state-affiliated media” label applied to its accounts
NPR on Wednesday said that it is suspending its use of Twitter after clashing with the social media company over a controversial new “state-affiliated media” label applied to its accounts. “NPR’s organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,” the broadcaster said in a statement.
In an interview with the BBC Tuesday, Twitter owner Elon Musk acknowledged the pushback, saying, “I know the BBC … was not thrilled about being labeled ‘state affiliated media.’” “Our goal is simply to … be as truthful and accurate as possible,” Musk said, adding that he planned to update the BBC’s label to “publicly funded.” It’s just the latest example of Musk antagonizing media outlets.
