Awesome move from @WIRED in support of free press! Recent coverage from @WIRED has been must-read. And just a reminder! All of @NPR’s digital & radio coverage — including work from our investigations desk & national teams covering DOGE & restrictions on rights — is always free.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @FreedomofPress. https://t.co/ocQRSVUjlf
