President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

Thinking about a shortlist of "digital rights" for the internet, got a few off the top of my head: - right to algorithmic transparency (how "the algorithm" works at any given time) - right to self-imposed content moderation (right to block) - right to data and tracker privacy (control over cookies)
