All 550 of VOA’s contract status reporters, editors, videographers, engineers and techs just notified they’re terminated effective end of this month. We don’t distinguish internally between them and regular staff — all are highly skilled and absolutely critical to the operation.
@w7voa It's all propaganda anyway, no great loss.
@uncleslacky @w7voa I agree - VOA (and it's sister broadcasters) is propaganda, but surely it's better to have *all* the opposing views available than hear just one source of propaganda, however much we may disagree with those views?
You only need to look at the history of cold war broadcasting to understand how inportant the opposing views were to the world - and that hasn't changed, in fact it's becoming more important.
