National Public Radio’s (NPR) Edith Chapin will step down from her role as editor in chief and acting chief content officer later this year, the news outlet said on Tuesday, at a time when the broadcaster faces funding pressure after the Trump administration slashed public media subsidies.
The news comes a week after the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a $9 billion funding cut to public media and foreign aid.
This includes $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which distributes funding to news outlets NPR and PBS.
The Trump administration has accused NPR and PBS of bias against conservative viewpoints.
Chapin, who joined NPR in 2012 after 25 years at CNN, will remain head of newsroom operations while NPR searches for a new editorial leadership.
Under her leadership, NPR’s news division expanded its investigative reporting and deepened its international and national coverage, the company said.
NPR is a nonprofit media organization that boasts a weekly audience of 43 million across its platforms and has 953,000 weekly app users, according to its website.
