AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right

Katherine Maher is set to receive the "James C. Goodale First Amendment Award" from Harper's on Oct. 26, the magazine announced in a press release. In justifying its selection of Maher as the award's second-ever recipient, the magazine cited the NPR boss' actions in the face of President Donald Trump's May 2025 executive order targeting NPR and PBS' taxpayer funding.
