Elon Musk’s social media platform attached a “state-affiliated media” label to NPR’s official Twitter account on Tuesday.
Twitter attached a “state-affiliated media” label to National Public Radio’s official account on Tuesday — a designation that is also given to government-controlled outlets such as Russia Today or China’s Xinhua news agency.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk highlighted the move in a Wednesday tweet, sharing language in Twitter’s guidelines that defines “state-affiliated media” as “outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution.”An NPR spokesperson told The Post that the network has reached out to Twitter in an effort to get the label removed.
“This must be a mistake as it contradicts Twitter’s own guidelines,” an NPR spokesperson told The Post. John Lansing, NPR’s president and CEO, issued a statement which read: “We were disturbed to see last night that Twitter has labeled NPR as ‘state-affiliated media,’ a description that, per Twitter’s own guidelines, does not apply to NPR.”
