Summary
This executive order calls for the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) to cease all funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

Executive Order 14290, titled "Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media", is an executive order signed by U.S. president Donald Trump on May 1, 2025 to end federal funding for NPR (a radio network) and PBS (a television network) by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and all federal agencies, alleging biased news coverage in violation of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 and that public funding for news programming was "not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence" in the current U.S. media market.[1][2][3]

CPB, PBS, and NPR executives issued press releases arguing that the executive order was unlawful under the Public Broadcasting Act and that the organizations would challenge the order in court while exploring how to continue providing programming.[4][2][5] On May 27, NPR and three other public radio stations sued the Trump administration for ending their federal funding, citing it as a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.[6][7][8] On May 30, PBS sued the Trump administration for ending their federal funding.[9][10][11]
