This is the best summary I could come up with:
NPR has selected former Wikimedia Foundation chief Katherine Maher to lead the network through an era of declining broadcast listenership, financial uncertainty and technological turbulence.
And Ferro notes that Maher worked to help shape Wikipedia into a trusted organization that shares similar values with NPR, such as broad access to information and democracy.
As a Connecticut high schooler in 2000, Maher recalled, she was intrigued by the peace summit involving top Israeli and Palestinian leaders that had been convened by then President Bill Clinton.
She said she intends to keep serving on the boards of the nonprofit Consumer Reports and the Signal Foundation, which supports the secure messaging app relied upon by journalists and dissidents abroad.
Yet Lansing had a string of seeming successes, building the network’s priorities around what he called its “North Star”: making sure NPR’s program and staff better reflected the full texture of America.
It turned out the network was on the front end of a media recession that has tripped up many of its peers; The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times ultimately reduced their ranks by an even higher proportion.
The original article contains 1,503 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 88%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Saying former wikimedia foundation head is a tech executive is like saying the former head of MSF is a healthcare industry executive.
