Chuck Darwin<p>Trump’s shuttering of global media agency endangers reporters, staff say </p><p>Foreign workers at US government-backed media outlets being cut by the Trump administration say they face deportation to their home countries, <br />where some risk imprisonment or death at the hands of authoritarian governments.</p><p>Earlier this month, the Trump administration moved to defund the US Agency for Global Media <br />( <a href="https://c.im/tags/USAGM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USAGM</span></a> ), an independent federal agency that oversees the Voice of America ( <a href="https://c.im/tags/VoA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VoA</span></a> ), <br />the US’s largest and oldest international broadcaster, <br />and provides grants to Radio Free Europe and other news agencies. </p><p>Staff have been placed on administrative leave and contractors have been fired. <br />The agency had around 3,500 employees with an annual budget of $886m in 2024.</p><p>“We have many coworkers in different services, several of whom came here and sought asylum visas. <br />If their own government knew they worked for RFA [Radio Free Asia] and they went back to their own country, their lives would be at risk,” <br />Jaewoo Park, a journalist for RFA, who was placed on administrative leave along with all of his coworkers, told the Guardian.</p><p>“Authoritarian governments have praised what Trump is doing right now,” Park said. <br />“In Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, there were people who fought for freedom and democracy, and they came to work at RFA.<br /> It’s very risky for them. Their lives are in danger if Radio Free Asia doesn’t exist.”</p><p>Chinese and Russian state media have praised the cuts of the news agencies, <br />with a Russian broadcaster calling the cuts a “holiday” for Russian state media outlets.</p><p>The shuttering of the agency was unexpected and has caused chaos for Park and others. <br />“My wife is 28 weeks pregnant and we’re very concerned because I might go back to South Korea because I’m on a working visa. <br />My wife is almost due and we just bought a home last year,” he added. <br />“It’s very concerning and depressing.”</p><p>But the impact of the decision will be felt globally, said Park. <br />He cited Radio Free Asia’s broadcasts to North Korea which, he noted, defectors from North Korea have cited as an important source of independent news.<br /><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/24/trump-shuttering-global-media-agency-endangers-reporters?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/24/trump-shuttering-global-media-agency-endangers-reporters?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
