NPR discloses financial support

When faced with reporting negative news about a financial supporter, NPR took the opportunity to acknowledge the relationship by working a financial disclosure into the story. “We will tell you now that Amazon is a financial supporter of NPR News, and we are raising these questions about Amazon all the same, which is how it should work,” host Steve Inskeep said. This work was done independently from Trusting News but embodies the work we do.
