The NPR news quiz published Friday opened with a meta-observation about the former president’s media footprint: at the moment of writing on Thursday, six headlines on the broadcaster’s homepage contained the word “Trump.”
“At the moment this is being written — June 4 at 9:38 a.m. ET — six headlines on the NPR homepage have the word ‘Trump’ in them,” editor Holly J. Morris wrote in the quiz’s introductory paragraph. She added that the quiz itself would add another headline to that count, calling it “part of the problem (or solution, depending on how you view it).”
The quiz invites readers to test their knowledge of a week of news that Morris described as covering “Trump’s wins and losses.” The article’s promotional imagery included photos of former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), tennis star Serena Williams, and reality television personality Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, indicating those figures were among the week’s quiz topics.
NPR’s weekly quiz is typically published on Fridays and draws from the week’s news, with readers answering questions about the headlines the broadcaster has covered.
