Cuts in official US radio broadcasting to Russia and the Middle East since 2001 and plans to end Voice of America (VOA) broadcasts to China in October have sown “chaos and confusion” in the agency, one (unnamed) senior agency official is quoted as saying by the Washington Times.
The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is shifting broadcasts from radio to the Internet and social media. Critics say the move will make programmes more vulnerable to disruption by governments that oppose US efforts to promote democracy and freedom.
