U.S. center-left

NPR is a nonprofit news network funded mainly by member-station fees, corporate underwriting, and donations rather than a single owner or advertiser base. Its reporting is generally seen as left-leaning in tone and story selection, and it has been in open conflict with the Trump administration, which cut off its remaining federal funding in 2026 amid accusations of political bias.

Owned byIndependent nonprofit membership organization; NPR itself has no single owner and is governed by a board that includes representatives of its member stations, which are separately owned by universities, community nonprofits, and other local licensees.
