    The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $36 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.

    The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to Trump’s demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage. The argument, part of a broader lawsuit by NPR and several stations against the Trump administration, focused on CPB funding for NPR’s operation of a satellite distribution system for local public radio stations. NPR announced Monday it would waive all fees for the stations associated with the satellite service.

    The judge in the case had explicitly told CPB’s legal team he did not find its defense credible. CPB lawyers had argued that the decision to award the contract to a new consortium of public media institutions was driven by a desire to foster digital innovations more swiftly.

  3. Great to see the always-eloquent #KatherineMaher on #TheLateShow with #StephenColbert! As I commented on this video, as a long-time #Wikipedia editor, I know Katherine from her time as CEO of the @wikimediafoundation; I've attended several of her talks and she's attended a couple of mine.

  13. A campaign against #NPR's new CEO, ex-#Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.

  17. Wikipedia is about verifiable facts from reliable sources. For Wikipedia, arguing with "The Truth" is not effective. Wikipedians don't write "because it's true" but "because that's what's in this source".

    It is painful to see Katherine Maher viciously and widely attacked on Twitter, also for a quote restating how Wikipedia works.

    We were lucky to have her at Wikipedia, and NPR is lucky to have her.
