[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2021, John Lansing, CEO of NPR, described the "North Star" project as follows: "that one of his first observations upon joining NPR was that “we needed to double down our efforts” in diversity, equity and inclusion. He soon made DEI the top priority at NPR. Diversity is the “North Star” of a newly implemented strategic plan, Lansing said, because it “filters through everything that we do with all of our work.” Again--DEI was *the top priority at NPR*. Not an initiative. This was why every single story on ATC and ME felt like a DEI story; because the filter was *literally* applied. Over the two-year period following, they lost ~20M listeners--and gained no "diverse" listeners. These are just facts. They did a strategy, and their listening audience hated it.

I am black woman who's been listening to NPR for 30 years. I'm sorry, they have not changed, you have. I don't see them as diverse AT ALL. Every time there is a black show, they cancel it. That's been happening over the last 10 years.

They haven't changed. Sorry.[/quote]

Give Candace Owens a try. She gets good ratings and has had her own show for years. [/quote]
