CPD Media Monitors follow the development of critical public diplomacy stories in world media. Current Media Monitors feature regularly updated news coverage from a variety of national and international sources on topical stories. The aggregated content is later reviewed and analyzed to produce a Media Monitor Report. The Reports organize media coverage by source, region or topic and provide a synopsis of its main public diplomacy implications.CPD Media Monitors do not intend to assess or comment on the accuracy of media reporting but to provide a representative survey of how various media are framing the coverage of the issues under review.

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA’S GLOBAL VOICE: THE DEBATE SURROUNDING THE NEW VOA BUDGET
MAR 16, 2006
By Amelia H. Arsenault
On February 6, 2006, a Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) press release made clear that the proposed 2007 budget will result in dramatic changes at the Voice of America (VOA). In particular, the budget will mean the elimination of VOA’s main English transmission, VOA News Now Radio while retaining funding for VOA English to Africa, Special English, and VOA's English website. Other language broadcasts set for elimination include: all VOA television and radio broadcasts in Croatian, Turkish, Thai, Greek and Georgian; and VOA radio broadcasts in Albanian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Serbian, Russian and Hindi. These changes, particularly the demise of VOA English, have instigated a flurry of speculation about the direction of American international broadcasting and the future of all VOA programming.
