The administration of US President Donald Trump began yesterday to reduce the “Voice of America” radio staff and other government funded bodies.
This includes the American World Media Agency, which includes “Voice of America”, broadcasting “Free Europe” and “Free Asia”, and “Marti” radio, which broadcasts news in the Spanish language in Cuba. The “Reporters Without Borders” announced that the finishing notifications of the financing included all workers in “Voice of America”, noting that this decision represents a retreat from the historical role of the United States as a defender of freedom of information.
The American Voice of America broadcasts to other countries, often after translating it into local languages, while the radio of “Free Asian Radio”, “Free Europe Radio” and “Radio Marti” transmits news to countries with systems described as authoritarian, and the total number of listeners of these networks reaches about 427 million people, and it extends its roots to the Cold War.
