How can we improve our communications with publics around the world, using the revolution in human communications currently underway? What is the role of the Voice of America, a source of balanced journalism, doing to reach foreign audiences?
Can that “balanced journalism” reach the breadth of audience that Social Media encompasses today? As Director of Voice of America, David Ensor oversees a multimedia operation broadcasting in 43 languages, reaching an estimated 141 million people each week via radio, television, mobile and internet.
