Journalism is not a crime. We stand with WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested last week on bogus espionage charges in Russia. Evan worked for three years as a reporter at The Moscow Times – we know he’s a professional journalist. He should be released immediately. 🧵👇

This is a heartbreaking loss for all of us at NPR, our Member Stations & millions of listeners in the public radio family. Petra’s passion for her work, love for her colleagues & joy sharing books listeners have made a lasting impact. Our deepest sympathy to her family & friends.
NPR is heartbroken to report that our own books editor, Petra Mayer, died on Saturday. If you've read or listened to anything about books on NPR, you've likely encountered her work. n.pr/3wLLcdb

We join our colleagues across the media in this request for humanitarian assistance for the Afghans who worked with us to help keep the public informed during 20 years of war.
NPR joined this effort to seek the U.S. Government’s
humanitarian assistance for Afghans who worked with the U.S. media as journalists, interpreters & support staff & now fear retaliation from the Taliban for having courageously associated themselves with the American press.
