RESOLVED,
That the Board of Directors
of the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Expresses its Heartfelt Condolences
to the Family and Friends of
JOHN LANSING
President and CEO of NPR
2019-2024

We will long remember with gratitude John Lansing, the former president and CEO of NPR, whose contributions to public radio were immense, and whose leadership during challenging times left a lasting impact.

As a former executive with the Scripps Network and the Broadcast Board of Governors, John took the reins at NPR in 2019 and led the organization through a tumultuous period, which included a global pandemic, a volatile political climate, and a rapidly changing news environment. His steady leadership kept NPR’s reporting on the air during the early days of the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

John was mission driven and was proud of public media and NPR’s service to the American people. His commitment to journalistic excellence will continue to inspire generations to come.

The CPB Board of Directors marks John Lansing’s leadership, vision, and extraordinary service to public media and the American public with deep respect and appreciation and offers our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
