Edson urges including overseas staff in Voice of America debate
Peter Edson argues congressional committees should consult workers like John C. Caldwell overseas rather than rely on Washington officials to judge the Voice of America program. He notes the House cut a 31 million dollar appropriation, eliminating essential personal contact and information efforts abroad, not just shortwave broadcasting. Caldwell cites China as an example where corrective information and daily Morse code dispatches, plus a weekly digest to 12 000 influential Chinese, counter misinformation and reach millions of readers. Hunger for U.S. information exists across China and features in the newsletter are often reprinted.
