US EditionAri Shapiro, ‘All Things Considered’ Co-Host, Is Exiting NPR Amid Funding Cuts
Ari Shapiro departs after 25 years, having won multiple national awards and hosted NPR's All Things Considered for nearly a decade, marking a significant career milestone.
- Ari Shapiro will step down as co-host of All Things Considered on September 26, ending his 25-year career at NPR by the end of September.
- Congress's July vote to rescind $1.1 billion in federal funding forced the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to close, but Ari Shapiro said his departure `has nothing to do with the challenges facing public radio`.
- During his 25-year tenure, Shapiro joined NPR in 2001, served as international and White House correspondent, hosted All Things Considered for nearly 10 years, and said, `This has been the second-longest relationship of my adult life ` .
- NPR responded by trimming its budget by $8 million to support stations reliant on federal funding, while Edith Chapin said `next steps` to fill Shapiro's host chair will likely be announced next week.
- After leaving, Shapiro will tour with Pink Martini, and his exit follows other leadership changes at NPR, including Edith Chapin's fall departure and Susan Stamberg's retirement starting September 1.
