Michael Abramowitz has been announced as the next director of Voice of America. Abramowitz, currently the president of a pro-democracy nonprofit organization, has a background in journalism and a strong focus on countering propaganda and disinformation from authoritarian countries. He emphasized the importance of VOA in the information war and pushing back against attacks on journalism. Expected to start this summer, Abramowitz will succeed the acting director and aims to strengthen VOA’s global reach and mission. VOA faced challenges during the previous administration but remains committed to its editorial independence.
