I am urging you to continue and protect funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). These vital media outlets provide trusted, noncommercial news and educational programming that enriches our democracy and society. Public broadcasting amplifies diverse voices and perspectives while maintaining high journalistic standards. Its independence from commercial and political pressures allows it to tackle important issues without undue influence. By supporting NPR and PBS, we uphold values of truth, civic engagement, and quality programming accessible to all Americans regardless of their means. Please prioritize and protect robust funding for these national treasures.
