Nearly 200 officials from public radio stations across the country are descending on Capitol Hill to seek to convince lawmakers to maintain funding for public broadcasting despite President Trump's campaign against it.

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS. They say he can't. PBS chief Paula Kerger calls it "blatantly unlawful".

Hours after President Trump tried to remove three board members, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting responds with a lawsuit arguing he does not have that authority.

Trump and GOP members of Congress accuse the public broadcasters of biased and "woke" programming. Trump plans a rescission, giving Congress 45 days to approve it or allow funding to be restored.

When NPR is in the news, its journalists aim to cover what's happening the same way they cover other news or an organization. The newsroom follows a protocol that seeks to ensure only a small number of employees, none of whom are directly involved in the news event, works on the coverage.

Chief Diversity Officer Keith Woods announced he'll retire after a 46-year career in journalism and 15 years at NPR, as the issue he has championed takes center stage in political discourse.
