NPR is preparing for further newsroom adjustments this week, following a memo previewing a reorganization within the News, Music, and Lifestyle divisions, according to a staff memo from Nadine Zylstra, the news organization's newly appointed chief content officer. Zylstra assured employees that the changes would not result in job losses.
The announcement comes months after NPR made cuts in May, laying off 10 staff members and offering buyouts to up to 18 others. Zylstra discussed the upcoming restructuring in a memo ahead of Indigenous Peoples Day, expressing excitement about the new "adventure" the organization is undertaking. She clarified that the reorganization would ask employees to be more agile, work differently, and possibly transition to new roles.
However, she emphasized that no job losses would be associated with the future content reorganization, stating, "Our go forward plan will ask folks to be agile, work differently and maybe even change the job they have to do something new, but if this is an adventure you are excited to embark on, there is room for everyone." A full memo from Zylstra, shared by The New York Times' Ben Mullin, is available for full reading.
