“Voice of America (VOA or VoA) is the state-owned news network and international radio broadcaster of the United States of America. It is the largest[3] and oldest of the U.S.-funded international broadcasters.[4][5] VOA produces digital, TV, and radio content in 48 languages,[6] which it distributes to affiliate stations around the world. Its targeted and primary audience is non-American.

VOA was established in 1942,[7] and the VOA charter (Public Laws 94-350 and 103-415)[8] was signed into law in 1976 by President Gerald Ford.

VOA is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and overseen by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an independent agency of the U.S. government.[9] Funds are appropriated annually under the budget for embassies and consulates. As of 2022, VOA has a weekly worldwide audience of approximately 326 million (up from 236.6 million in 2016) and employs 961 staff with annual budget of $252 million…

Voice of America is seen by some listeners[who?] as having a positive impact while others[like whom?] see it as American propaganda; it also serves US diplomacy.”

If saving The Washington Post means turning it into another celebrity or tabloid or soft news newspaper, where a lot of these softball stories become national and front page stories for them and moving The Post away from its hard news tradition and standards, (sort of the direction that CNN and MSNBC at least to a certain extent have moved into) then The Post as we know it won’t have been saved and the Washington Post will be gone replaced by some softball publication, that only calls itself The Washington Post. But if saving the Post means making hard news profitable in the 21st century, then maybe this is a good move.
