Trump initiates layoffs impacting over 500 employees at Voice of America
The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America and other government-funded international broadcasters, has announced a significant change in its workforce and a new feature for its subscribers.
In a move that could escalate a months-long legal challenge over the news outlets' fate, Kari Lake, the acting CEO of USAGM, announced the latest round of job eliminations for more than 500 employees. This decision is part of a move by the Trump administration.
However, in an effort to engage its subscribers and expand the reach of its news articles, USAGM has also introduced a gift sharing feature. This service allows subscribers to share news articles with a wider audience, a privilege limited to 10 gift sharing articles per month.
To use this feature, one must subscribe to the service or log in to their account. The gift sharing articles are a feature exclusive to subscribers and can be shared with friends and family who are not subscribers. It's important to note that these gift sharing articles are not advertisements, but a service provided to subscribers.
The Associated Press, a renowned news agency, reported the news about the job eliminations, with the article being written by Michael Kunzelman. Kari Lake's predecessor, Michael Abramowitz, took the position in July 2024. Before that, he served as president of Freedom House and was a reporter and editor for The Washington Post for nearly 25 years.
The gift sharing feature is one of the benefits offered to subscribers of the service. It's a great way for subscribers to share interesting and informative news articles with their network, helping to spread awareness and promote open dialogue.
The job eliminations could potentially affect the operations of Voice of America and other government-funded international broadcasters. As the USAGM continues to navigate these changes, it remains committed to its mission of delivering accurate, objective, and comprehensive news to audiences around the world.
