The US Justice Department has informed Voice of America its staff can resume programming next week after the broadcaster was shuttered by President Donald Trump in March, according to Paris-based media watchdog Reporters Without borders and a VOA employee said Saturday.
The US government-run news service for international audiences has been off the air since Trump ordered the dismantling of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees VOA and other broadcasters including Radio Free Asia and distributes federal funding for their operations.
