I agree it's a good practice, and one not unrelated to how NPR is one of the few news orgs with a good API [0]. Tribune Media, meanwhile, has had a different saga since 2005 to put it lightly, and it includes the industry's most epic failed mergers and reorgs [1]. I'm not privy to their internal development process, but I'm willing to bet that their lack of a GDPR site is much more about being unable to do so due to corporate/financial chaos, and less so because of a purported hatred toward "people's basic rights to privacy".
