Edith Chapin, editor-in-chief and acting chief content officer for NPR, informed her colleagues on Tuesday that she is resigning.

Chapin’s decision comes a few days after Congress voted on July 18 to cut $1.1 billion in funding over the next two years for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which will have a “severe” financial effect on NPR and PBS, among other public media outlets. She said she will stay on until September or October.
