The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been quietly sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund thousands of ostensibly “independent” journalists, media NGOs and media outlets worldwide.
In a post on X, Wikileaks cited a USAID fact sheet which has now been taken offline that states, in 2023, the agency funded training and support for 6,200 journalists, assisted 707 non-state news outlets and supported 279 “media” non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
