The policy doesn't say all outside works is banned. It says approval must be sought. Do you have any evidence Inskeep didn't have approval to post on Substack?
Being a mere outside observer, I naturally do not have any such evidence, but I do wonder what that approval process is like? Do employees have to, for example, agree not to disparage NPR in such outside work?
>In its formal rebuke, NPR did not cite Berliner's appearance on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation program last Tuesday night, for which NPR gave him the green light. (NPR's chief communications officer told Berliner to focus on his own experience and not share proprietary information.)
I haven't seen that episode of NewsNation, but I'd be surprised if this editor were invited as a guest for a different topic. So he did seek and receive permission in one case.
A lot of employers have this. This isn't that strange. You might have the same. I've had to run open source work past employers when it's similar to the company's domain.
Also an outsider, but seeing the approval process in my own organization, I am 110% sure such "outside work" wouldn't have been approved, had the author sought it.

one article criticizes them, of course they're not gonna allow that. the other article praises them, of course they're gonna allow that.
