    I want to offer some perspective on the news we woke up to this morning about an executive order aimed at stripping federal funding from NPR and PBS. The executive order directs the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) to block stations like NHPR from paying dues to NPR that sustain the national-local partnership that makes programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered possible.

    Healthy communities stand on a foundation of trust. Trust springs from knowing your neighbors and their concerns, knowing that officials and institutions are honest and reliable, and knowing there are forums where your voice can be heard. Trustworthy information is vital in emergencies. Trustworthy journalism is essential when change comes so fast it’s hard to keep up.

    I want to update you on legislative action in Washington about funding for public media. Last week, the House Appropriations Committee sent a bill to the full House that would eliminate future funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The legislation would also zero out funds for the distribution systems that connect public media outlets and provide the backbone for local, state and national emergency alert systems. The House is expected to take up the measure at the end of the month.

    NHPR’s mission commits us to telling the stories of our changing state. That requires our organization and our journalism to reflect – and embrace – the increasingly diverse perspectives of people across New Hampshire and beyond. It requires us to model inclusion in our sources, in the voices we lift, in our reporting and in the conversations we conduct; in the makeup of our staff, Board of Trustees and Community Advisory Board, and in the ways we spend money and conduct our business.

    In keeping with our commitment to becoming a more diverse and inclusive news organization, NHPR is making regular reports to the public on diversity in our journalism. Our content teams – the NHPR newsroom and the people who make our podcasts – have been tracking the race/ethnicity and gender of the sources cited or guests included in their work.

BUY THIS BOOK! @davidenrich sounds an urgent warning about a campaign to use the courts to undermine press freedom. Read his sharply drawn account of attacks on @nhpr that tried - but failed - to silence our reporting on misconduct in the addiction recovery industry. https://t.co/TIm2DvSXfk
