After criticism over "viewpoint diversity," NPR adds new layers of editorial oversight
Briefly

NPR implements expanded editorial review with new Backstop group for 24/7 oversight and coordination of news coverage to ensure quality across platforms.
Additional 11 staff hires funded by an anonymous donor will assist in the implementation of these sweeping changes and enhanced editorial workflows.
The Backstop group aims to review content daily to prevent bottlenecks, ensuring real-time oversight without slowing down the news process.
Editor-in-chief emphasizes that the focus is on enhancing editorial quality by looking at content in aggregate and providing an extra layer of review.
