Eastern North Carolina NPR stations will be the most affected by federal funding cuts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, according to an Axios analysis.
Why it matters: Public media outlets serve essential community newsgathering and emergency roles, but the Trump administration and others on the right have long accused them of left-leaning bias.
Driving the news: CPB grants made up about 10.3% of U.S. public TV stations' overall funding as of fiscal 2023, and 4.1% for radio stations.
How it works: That's based on data manually collected from station websites by Alex Curley, a former NPR staffer who has been tracking public media financing on his blog Semipublic.
Zoom in: The cuts will not affect every station the same way, and some appear ready to weather the reductions better than others.
