Broadcaster NPR quits Twitter after labelling row

US broadcaster National Public Radio (NPR) today said it would “no longer remain active” on Twitter, accusing the platform owned by Elon Musk of undermining its credibility and sowing doubt over its editorial independence.

NPR’s clean break from Twitter comes after the highly respected news broadcaster suspended tweets from its main account when it received a label on the platform that said it was “state-affiliated media”.
