西雅图公共媒体组织Cascade PBS正在解雇近20名工作人员, Cascade PBS, Seattle’s public media organization, is laying off nearly 20 staff members and ending its long-form online journalism due to federal funding cuts that have severely impacted public broadcasting. 由于公共广播公司的资金被削减,该电台每年损失350万美元,因此不得不重组,将重点转向流媒体和视频节目,如莫斯巴克的西北地区,并扩大了每日新闻报道. The $3.5 million annual shortfall, caused by the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, has forced the station to restructure, shifting focus to streaming and video programming like Mossback’s Northwest and expanded daily news coverage. 虽然将增加三个新的多媒体角色,但新闻室的裁员包括作家和编辑,这引起了太平洋西北报纸协会的批评。 While three new multimedia roles will be added, the newsroom reductions include writers and editors, drawing criticism from the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild. 罗布·邓洛普(Rob Dunlop)首席执行官将这一决定称为痛苦但必要的决定,强调该电台不顾财政压力,继续致力于新闻、文化和艺术方面的高质量节目编制。 CEO Rob Dunlop called the decision painful but necessary, emphasizing the station’s continued commitment to quality programming across news, culture, and the arts despite financial pressures.
