Congress passed the Rescissions Act of 2025, terminating $1.1 billion in federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This decision threatens the operational viability of NPR, PBS, and their affiliates, prompting them to engage in targeted fundraising campaigns. Both organizations have been communicating the potential consequences to their audiences. NPR has condemned the cuts as 'devastating' for public reliance on their services, while PBS is sharing messages from notable figures to bolster support. Local media stations face potential layoffs and reduced programming due to these federal funding revocations.
NPR has stated, 'This decision is devastating for the millions of people who rely on public media every day.' Public media provides essential services to communities across the nation.
PBS has been actively seeking public support, highlighting the importance of funding for local stations which will be significantly impacted by the cuts.
