Da said he learned some of his English in college while listening to #VOA broadcasts & also learned news that wasn't reported in the Chinese media.

Da acknowledges that in recent years, VOA was less important as the internet spread. But he says another agency mattered more: the U.S. Agency for International Development (#USAID).

Trump’s shuttering of global media agency endangers reporters, staff say

Foreign workers at US government-backed media outlets being cut by the Trump administration say they face deportation to their home countries,
where some risk imprisonment or death at the hands of authoritarian governments.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration moved to defund the US Agency for Global Media
( #USAGM ), an independent federal agency that oversees the Voice of America ( #VoA ),
the US’s largest and oldest international broadcaster,
and provides grants to Radio Free Europe and other news agencies.

Staff have been placed on administrative leave and contractors have been fired.
The agency had around 3,500 employees with an annual budget of $886m in 2024.

“We have many coworkers in different services, several of whom came here and sought asylum visas.
If their own government knew they worked for RFA [Radio Free Asia] and they went back to their own country, their lives would be at risk,”
Jaewoo Park, a journalist for RFA, who was placed on administrative leave along with all of his coworkers, told the Guardian.

“Authoritarian governments have praised what Trump is doing right now,” Park said.
“In Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, there were people who fought for freedom and democracy, and they came to work at RFA.
It’s very risky for them. Their lives are in danger if Radio Free Asia doesn’t exist.”

Chinese and Russian state media have praised the cuts of the news agencies,
with a Russian broadcaster calling the cuts a “holiday” for Russian state media outlets.

The shuttering of the agency was unexpected and has caused chaos for Park and others.
“My wife is 28 weeks pregnant and we’re very concerned because I might go back to South Korea because I’m on a working visa.
My wife is almost due and we just bought a home last year,” he added.
“It’s very concerning and depressing.”

But the impact of the decision will be felt globally, said Park.
He cited Radio Free Asia’s broadcasts to North Korea which, he noted, defectors from North Korea have cited as an important source of independent news.

@w7voa not to nitpick, but have you considered seeking a different blogging platform? ANYTHING that is NOT #substack ? They are eager supporters and funders of the machinery that dismantled #VoA and erodes democracy in the US.

Ghost is a fantastic alternative that is open sourced, not owned by broligarchs.

P.S. with you and VoA folks, all the way.

More on #IMLS shutdown:

On March 14, 2025,… #Trump …issued an #EO that called for the dismantling of 7 #FederalAgencies…. They ranged from the #USAGM, which oversees #VOA, to the #MBDA.

The Institute of #Museum & #Library Services was also on the list. #Congress created the IMLS in 1996 through the Museum & Library Services Act. The #law merged the Inst of Museum Services, which was established in 1976, w/the Library Prgms Office of the Dept of #Education.

Trump's dismantling of #VOA will pave the way for America's adversaries to have greater influence abroad.

~1,300 employees, incl. Abramowitz: placed on admin. leave +500 contractors: terminated. He called #VOA "an incredibly impt. soft power tool" for the US -shuttering it: "self-inflicted blow" to #nationalsecurity -bc it helps combat CN, RU & IR disinfo.

Most journalists ignore Trump's goal of destruction, emulating & aligning with Putin, for #privatization.

Donald Trump's dismantling of Voice of America could lead to dominance of anti-American propaganda, director says.

@CBSNews reports: "VOA reports news about the U.S. in nearly 50 languages — with much of its focus trained on countries that lack a free press."
