A legal battle seeks to put Voice of America back on the air after its silencing by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump signed an executive order that essentially shuts down VOA, a taxpayer-funded broadcaster that the White House believes airs "radical propaganda." VOA Chief National Correspondent Steve Herman serves on the National Press Club's board of governors, and he's taking part in the court action. In the latest edition of Update-1, Herman speaks with NPC Broadcast Podcast Committee member Tom Young about the effort to revive VOA and protect other outlets such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
