Elon Musk escalated tensions with the media industry yet again this week when his social media service, Twitter, labeled nonprofit radio network NPR “U.S. state-affiliated media.”
The label appeared on NPR’s Twitter page Tuesday evening, and it remains as of Wednesday afternoon. A Twitter policy change this week grouped NPR with state-affiliated media, defined as “outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution.”
