We assess the damage to independent journalism globally by cuts to USAGM and USAID, described as “the chainsaw approach†of the Trump administration. The defunding of Voice of America, RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) and its multiple language services has been decried as “a gift to dictatorsâ€. Although these cuts are being disputed in court, they could have long-lasting implications for audiences around the world. Can the harm be undone? Producer: Kriszta Satori Presenter: Krassi Twigg Contributors: Pascal Fletcher, Samia Hosny, Margaryta Maliukova, Andrey Vladov, Tom Lam, Sarbas Nazari, Moses Rono
