NPR is quitting Twitter as a result of the Elon Musk-run social media platform continuing to label the company “state affiliated media,” reports The Wrap.
The move to retire its 52 official Twitter feeds, announced Wednesday, makes it the first major news organization to leave the embattled platform since Musk’s takeover last fall. They previously addressed Twitter’s unannounced decision to tag the public radio network’s main account as “state affiliated media” last week, decrying the label as one used “to designate official state mouthpieces and propaganda outlets in countries such as Russia and China.””
NPR CEO John Lansing said Wednesday that the decision came down to maintaining NPR’s credibility.
