Radio Free Asia may soon be getting its Congressionally-mandated funding [again]. Late Wednesday the full bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit lifted a stay that had blocked a preliminary injunction ordering the U.S. Agency for Global Media to distribute Congressionally mandated funds to grantees including Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe and others. We’ve got about 100 members at Radio Free Asia and the vast majority were furloughed in March after President Trump signed an executive order essentially shuttering the agency and several newsrooms.

Guild members recognized by The Pulitzer Prizes

Hundreds of NewsGuild-CWA members were recognized from more than a dozen Guild-represented newsrooms on Monday by The Pulitzer Prizes for their incredible journalism.

“Congratulations to every journalist and media worker recognized by The Pulitzer Prizes for the contributions to our craft,” said NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss. “So many union journalists were recognized this year and being in a union protects you so you can do your job to seek truth and report it. Hardworking journalists and other workers who support them — not bots and AI — are the ones who find and report the news stories we need to understand our world.”
