You’re invited to “Silencing Voice of America,” an urgent conversation with Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) on Friday, May 23, about the Trump administration’s attacks on Voice of America and other publicly funded media outlets.
We’ll be joined by:
- Liam Scott, award-winning press freedom reporter and twice-fired journalist at VOA
- Jason Scott, co-founder of online archiving collective Archive Team
- Caitlin Vogus, senior adviser at FPF
We’ll discuss the Trump administration’s executive order cutting funding to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, its efforts to gut VOA and other international broadcasters, and its broader attacks on media.
We’ll examine how these moves threaten the independence of public-interest journalism, what’s at stake for reporters and audiences, and what comes next for press freedom in the U.S. and around the world.
