Wonder if that will end up helping in the longer term.

Just weird it in a way that is more capitalist lingo: " The govt will acquire a majority controlling stake and take the company private under it’s direct control"

They claim to be a public benefit corporation, so while they obviously need to get income to run servers and fund development, their objective as a company isn’t just to maximize shareholder value.

I don’t know where/how to find their actual foundation documents to see what those actually say for their balance of profit vs mission.

Based on Twitter definitions of state affiliated, govt funded, and public funded, NPR aligns the least with state affiliated and most with publicly funded, right?

How state-affiliated media accounts are defined

State-affiliated media is defined 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. Accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their prominent staff may be labeled. We will also add labels to Tweets that share links to state-affiliated media websites.

How government-funded media accounts are defined

Government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content. We may use external sources similar to this one in order to determine when this label is applied.

How publicly-funded media accounts are defined

Publicly-funded media refers to media organizations that receive funding from license fees, individual contributions, public financing, and commercial financing.
