Yesterday, I spoke to Catherine Maher. She's been the chief executive of NPR since March 2024. This week, NPR, along with three local stations, filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration over his executive order to pull funding from public media. Why did NPR decide to take up this fight?

But is it really possible to divorce those two things, to separate them? Wouldn't the perception be a problem, especially for a news organization that receives government money?
