VOA will not extend visas for foreign journalists

 


Dozens of foreign journalists working for the Voice of America in the United States will not extend their visas after their expiration, The NPR reported on Thursday, citing a trio of sources.

The report said that Michael Pack, President Trump’s newly appointed director of the Global Media Agency, which oversees international broadcasting, indicated that he would not approve visa extensions.

Paku on Wednesday also ordered the ceasefire of former Free Asia Radio chief Bay Fang, whom Pack had previously destroyed.

Foreign journalists are praised for their language skills, which are essential to the Voice of America mission as an international broadcaster representing the United States receiving news around the world.

A VOA reporter told NPR that some of the foreign journalists forced to return home are likely to face consequences from the governments of their countries that are hostile to the US.

Trump appointed Pack, an ally and documentary filmmaker, two years ago to be CEO of the international broadcasting agency, but he was only confirmed by the Senate last month.

He soon conserved the directors of all the divisions of the agencies: Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty; Radio Free Asia; The Cuban Broadcasting Office, which oversees Radio and Television Mart; Middle East Broadcasting Networks, run by Alhurra and Radio Sawa; and the Open Technology Fund, which promotes online access worldwide.

The director and deputy director of VOA resigned shortly before Pack took office, saying he should be able to name his team.

Trump and his administration have been quite critical of VOA.

The White House claimed in April that VOA had reinforced Beijings’ propaganda by running an Associated Press article on COVID-19 policies in China, from the origin of the virus.
