The #USSenate voted to #eliminate $1.1 billion in #funding for the #Corporation for #PublicBroadcasting (#CPB), which supports #NPR and #PBS stations. The funding cut, part of President #Trump’s rescissions package, would impact local public #radio and #television stations, potentially leading to closures and reduced access to #emergencyalerts and #educationalprogramming. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/senate-votes-to-kill-entire-public-broadcasting-budget-in-blow-to-npr-and-pbs/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia

"Although physical attacks against journalists are the most visible violations of #PressFreedom, economic pressure is also a major, more insidious problem. The economic indicator on the #RSF #WorldPressFreedomIndex now stands at an unprecedented, critical low as its decline continued in 2025. As a result, the global state of press freedom is now classified as a “difficult situation” for the first time in the history of the Index."
