In response to significant funding cuts directed by President Trump, news organizations associated with the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) are seeking Congressional and legal intervention to maintain their operations. With hundreds of journalists facing furloughs, these organizations emphasize the necessity of their independent reporting in regions with limited press freedom. They aim to highlight their impactive role against misinformation, particularly in countries like Russia and China. Efforts include lobbying for funding restoration and exploring alternative revenue avenues to secure their operations and uphold journalistic integrity.
USAGM's media entities provide a clear-eyed understanding of what is happening in the communities they cover, serving as a reliable alternative to disinformation.
Their reporting fosters the development of a more democratic society, crucial in providing accurate news to nations lacking a free press.
