Topic: John Lansing

NPR announces a 10% workforce reduction due to a $30 million shortfall in projected advertising revenue. CEO John Lansing discusses a "North Star" strategy to seek younger, more diverse audiences while integrating the newsroom with the podcasting division.

John Lansing has been named the new CEO of NPR, succeeding Jarl Mohn. Lansing previously headed the U.S. Agency for Global Media, overseeing state-funded broadcasters like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. His transition from government-funded international broadcasting to domestic public radio has raised concerns about the potential for state-aligned propaganda.
