President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to slash Voice of America. The plan looks to largely dismantle the government-funded media outlet as well as programs like Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.
This decree carries on the process of minimizing federal government departments deemed unnecessary by the President, as stated in the document made public over the weekend.
In response to the news, nonprofit activist group the Committee to Protect Journalists slammed the order as “outrageous,” and called for members of Congress to defend VOA.
“It is outrageous that the White House is seeking to gut the Congress-funded agency supporting independent journalism that challenges narratives of authoritarian regimes around the world,” said Carlos Martinez de la Serna, program director of CPJ. “We call on congressional leaders to protect this critical agency, which provides uncensored news in countries where the press is restricted.”
