Elon Musk’s Twitter Inc. has changed its description tag for National Public Radio to “government funded media” from “state-affiliated media” following criticism last week.
The company rewrote the label on Saturday following pushback from NPR, which hasn’t used the platform since April 4. NPR Chief Executive Officer John Lansing had called the state-affiliated media label “unacceptable.”
